Chapter 377: Old Enemy, Man in Red
After only three moves, the man in red couldn't dodge after all, so he had to raise the long sword in his hand to deal with it.
Yue Zhi surrounded the two of them to prevent the subordinates of the man in red from coming to the rescue, and he had been put into two in the blink of an eye.
"This little boy's kung fu is not bad, he has been trained by you well enough over the years." The man in red was still chattering, and he seemed very confident in his body.
The long sword in Zhou Lingmo's hand suddenly stopped, and the whole person flew backwards: "Arrogance." ”
Looking at the man in red in front of him, Zhou Lingmo's eyes were full of contempt.
He stood five meters away from the man, and Yuezhi on the side also withdrew his hand.
Seeing this scene, the man in red suddenly had a hint of ominous premonition in his heart, he frowned slightly, and his complexion converged.
Zhou Lingmo clasped his hands together, and in his palm was the hilt of the sword. When he opened his palm again, the original sword had already turned into two, and Zhou Lingmo had a sword in one hand, and went straight towards the man in red.
"Poof!"
With a muffled sound, the blade of the sword directly sank into the shoulder of the man in red.
"This ...... This can't ......" The man looked at Zhou Lingmo in front of him, his face full of disbelief.
Zhou Lingmo's speed is surprisingly fast!
The man in red couldn't resist Zhou Lingmo's double swords for a while, and retreated back again and again, the corner of the mask covering his face was loosened in the fight, and the mask fell halfway down.
originally thought that Zhou Lingmo would take this opportunity to see this person's face, but unfortunately, the man in red stretched out his hand and turned around, and immediately lifted the mask again.
It was just a short moment, and Zhou Lingmo vaguely saw his face.
That face, why is it a little familiar?
The sword in his hand did not give the man in red the slightest chance to breathe, but chased after the man in red directly.
"Boom!"
The swords of the two slammed into each other again.
Zhou Lingmo's sword seems to be very soft, but in fact, it is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and it does not show any weakness when it encounters the long sword on the opposite side.
"You've lost." Zhou Lingmo looked at the scarlet pupils of the man in red, took a step back, and the moment the man in red didn't notice it, his two swords were put together again, and his free hand threw three silver needles like lightning.
The cold wind around him was cold, and the man in red didn't react at all, only listening to his scream of "ah", he had already been hit by a needle in the forehead, and the whole person had fallen to the ground.
The guards around the man in red saw that the master was beaten, and tried to break through Yuezhi's sword array to save the master, but the sword in Yuezhi's hand was not leaking, and they had no chance at all.
After a while, Zhou Lingmo said leisurely: "You are a woman?" ”
He could hear from the red-clothed man's voice that it was different from the man's voice, which was obviously a woman's voice.
He walked up to the man in red, who was already immobile, and used his sword to pick the mask on the face of the man in red, and what appeared in front of him was indeed the face of a delicate but no longer young woman.
"Hmph, I was careless, I never thought it would fall into your hands." The woman in red snorted contemptuously, and her red pupils were all disdainful, as if she didn't care about her life or death.
At this time, Yue Zhi had already dealt with all the guards around the woman in red, and dragged the blood-stained sword to the side of the woman in red, rolling up and down all over her body, all of which were indescribably murderous.
"Yuezhi, wait." Zhou Lingmo looked at Yue Zhi, whose eyes were full of revenge fire around him, and stretched out his hand to stop him. "This man is still useful to us."
Raising the sword, Zhou Lingmo pointed at the woman in red.
"I know you won't tell you anything about Fanyang City now, but even so, we won't let you go." Zhou Lingmo's sword cut a faint blood mark on the face of the woman in red. "But you're willing to answer my next question."
Zhou Lingmo also picked off the headscarf on the woman's head with a sword.
"What is the relationship between you and Zhou Huanchun of the Dayue Zhou family?" When the woman heard Zhou Lingmo mention Zhou Huanchun, there was no surprise in her eyes.
"You can see it."
She reached out to pick up the mask, but Tsukichi stabbed her sword into the ground in front of her fingertips, preventing her from moving.
"Zhou Huanchun, my daughter." The woman in red tilted her head to look at Zhou Lingmo, her eyes were full of provocation.
Zhou Lingmo didn't seem surprised when he heard her words, but continued: "Many years ago, the man in red who burned and killed everywhere outside the capital of Chu was not you. ”
Looking at her eyes, Zhou Lingmo threw down a sentence.
"Not me? Why do you say it's not me? That person is me! The woman in red seemed to be stimulated by Zhou Lingmo's words, changed her previous carelessness, and roared, but because she still had Zhou Lingmo's silver needle on her forehead, the whole person twitched and struggled on the ground ridiculously, and her face was a little more hideous.
Yue Zhi's sword was still stabbed half an inch away from her hand, and when she heard Zhou Lingmo's words, she suddenly raised her head.
"Of course you're not that person, I remember that person's eyebrows." Zhou Lingmo's sword pointed at her eyes-
"Never forget."
"Hahahahaha, you remember shit! I am him! The woman in red was still struggling, and Zhou Lingmo didn't want to say anything anymore, so she turned around and was about to leave.
"Yue Zhi, this person is not the enemy who killed your father."
Yuezhi looked at the woman on the ground, and her expression had calmed down: "Since it's not, then whoever she is, it has nothing to do with me." Yuezhi paused, "It's just that she said that she is Zhou Huanchun's mother......"
"So whatever." I don't know when, Zhou Lingmo has pulled out the silver needle on the woman's head. "In a quarter of an hour, you'll be gone."
"You just let me go?" The woman was finally no longer as crazy as she had just been.
"You ordered someone to kill my two secret guards, I should have killed your souls in heaven to comfort them, but if I kill you now, wouldn't it be a great loss for you to die with a belly of secrets." Zhou Lingmo helped his heart. "But you must leave Fanyang City tonight, as for Zhou Huanchun, we will have time to talk about this in the future."
After speaking, Zhou Lingmo and Yue Zhi left the market, as for the woman in red, she was naturally not the one who poisoned Fanyang City.
This woman is arrogant and arrogant, she absolutely disdains the use of poison, and she is also extremely cruel and poisonous.
"Yuezhi."
Zhou Lingmo looked at the silent Yue Zhi beside him.
"Listen to this woman, the person who killed your parents must have something to do with her, and it is very likely that she is dead."
"I hear it." Yuezhi's face was expressionless. "Childe, my father's revenge is naturally what I naturally want to revenge, but after so many years, I almost forget their appearance, and I am no longer the moon boy on the outskirts of Chujing."
"What I mean by this is that you act according to your plan, Childe, and you don't have to mess with your plan because of me."
"Yue Zhi, you ......" Zhou Lingmo was stunned, for so many years, he knew his conduct best.
Yuezhi smiled lightly: "I'm alive, and I can't keep looking back." ”
Zhou Lingmo was shocked when he heard Yuezhi's words, but when Yuezhi turned around, he had already covered his expression.
"Childe!" Yue Zhi looked at Zhou Lingmo's back and suddenly shouted loudly.
As soon as Zhou Lingmo turned his head suddenly, he saw a fire burning in Yanliu Lane behind him!
"Yue Zhi, the person who released the poison must have been hiding in Yanliu Lane!"
As the words fell, the two of them hurriedly swept in the direction of Yanliu Lane.
By the time they arrived at Smoke Willow Lane, Yingluo had already arrived first.
"Childe, we have already caught the people, and they want to take advantage of the plague to continue to spread poison and be taken down by our secret guards on the spot." Yingluo is dressed in a night suit and is extremely capable.
"Still want to spread poison?" Zhou Lingmo frowned slightly when she heard this.
Looking at the few people in black in front of him, he suddenly remembered something.
"No wonder I thought the person in Wen Niang's room was a little familiar at the time."
Going around in front of these people, Zhou Lingmo looked carefully.
They were stuck by Zhou Lingmo's secret guard, their jaws were completely unable to close their mouths, and naturally they could not commit suicide.
"You ...... It's the scholar I got together at the inn to read a book on the first day I came to Fanyang City. Zhou Lingmo stared at the face of one of them, and the person was stuck in his jaw, and he could only make some muffled sounds from his mouth. Who sent you? ”
The voice was cold and cold, and it was so cold that it was maddening.
Then, Zhou Lingmo gave Yingluo a look, and the secret guards who escorted these men in black took these people down.
"Remember, keep these people's lives alive, don't let them die." Before leaving, Zhou Lingmo added.
"Understood, Childe." After Yingluo finished speaking, she hurriedly dealt with the next matter, but she didn't notice that Zhou Lingmo's forehead was full of cold sweat.
At this time, there were more and more patients in the hospital, and they all looked no different from ordinary people, but they couldn't wake up, and after a long time, their faces began to turn red, and their bodies were hot, as if they had a high fever.
As for the first man who sent it, his whole body is now red like a piece of ripe shrimp, and people can't help but wonder if he was fished out of the steamer.
"Carry him to the ice cellar." Wu Er was sweating profusely, although the characteristics of this hundred flower residue were similar to the hundred flower residue in his memory, but the power was much stronger, although the antidote made according to the previous prescription could alleviate the condition, but it could not fundamentally pull out the poison in the patient's body, besides, the spread of the hundred flower residue was enough to be called a plague, and naturally the people around him were in danger of being infected, and the power was really stronger than ordinary poison.
"Aunt Zhou! You must pay attention to wearing a mask when giving medicine to a patient, and take off the clothes you wear after taking care of the patient at the door! Zhou Huanchun was kneeling beside a little boy's bed at this time, the boy may not have been poisoned very badly, and he did not fall into a complete coma, but kept vomiting.
Hearing Wu Er say this, she nodded hurriedly and continued to take care of the boy.
In order to prevent the plague from continuing to spread, Wu Er asked all family members not to enter the ward where the patient was, and now, there are only two people in the ward, Wu Er and Zhou Huanchun, and the original guys in the inn were sent home by Zhou Huanchun.
But after a while, I heard a "wow", and the boy lying on the side of the bed spit all on Zhou Huanchun's apron.
Zhou Huanchun didn't care about cleaning up his embarrassed self, and before the little boy vomited and fell into a groggy state, he preemptively poured the medicine he was holding into the boy's mouth.
And she thought about Wu Er's words again, frowned, and gently put the little boy's head on the bed board, and then went to change her clothes.
After changing clothes, Zhou Huanchun stood at the door of the ward and looked at the room full of patients, and sighed. Originally, Wu Er's medical hall had not been opened for many years, and the people in the city had long since remembered that there was a Wu medical hall, and the reason why there were patients in less than an hour was that they were desperate, besides, now the city is not only a medical hall, but even the door of the pharmacy is crowded with comatose patients.
Wu Er insisted on using his old prescription at first, but soon they found that the old prescription no longer worked, and they couldn't find a new prescription for a while, so they could only use the old one.
Zhou Huanchun carefully studied Wu Er's dispensing for a while, and felt that it was impeccable, and it was completely symptomatic and toxic, but ......
"What's the problem?" Zhou Huanchun couldn't imagine that while taking care of the patient, she couldn't help but feel a little tired while thinking about the prescription.
The little boy who would be awake for a while when vomiting at the beginning has now completely fallen into a coma, Zhou Huanchun looked at him and had to shake his head helplessly.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard a woman outside the door shouting anxiously at the door: "Nannan! How's my family Nannan! ”
Zhou Huanchun knew that the "Nannan" in her mouth was the little boy next to her who had fallen into a coma, and when she saw a woman like this, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
As a mother, that kind of thought is really not something she can understand.
He ...... Fortunately, our medicine has temporarily controlled the poison on his body. Zhou Huanchun saw Nannan's mother crying miserably at the door, and wanted to rush into the hospital several times, but after all, she couldn't bear it and went out to explain to her.
"You lied to me! Several people had already been lifted out of the back door before! A lot of people have died in the medical center in the east of the city! Just let me see Nannan! "All the women will kneel before her, but she will hold them all the time.
She couldn't hold back her tears, and cursed the person who poisoned Fanyang City thousands of times in her heart.
Finally stabilized everyone, Zhou Huanchun dragged a tired body, returned to the hospital, and sat on the chair in a daze.
She hadn't closed her eyes for ten hours.
"Why didn't Wu Er and I get sick? Nannan's mother had taken care of Nannan at home for so long, and she didn't get sick, and the woman who sent her husband in the first place! ”
Zhou Huanchun suddenly thought of something, rushed out of the door at once, pulled Nan Nanniang, who was still guarding the door, and asked, "Did you get caught in the bamboo?" ”
Nan Nanniang didn't know what was going on, and replied blankly: "That's natural, there are a few branches outside the kitchen where I cook, but they have long since withered." ”
"Did Nannan get sick yesterday when he came back straight from the academy?" Zhou Huanchun seemed to have discovered something and asked.
"Yes." Nan Nanniang looked absent-minded, but Zhou Huanchun was getting more and more excited at the moment, she looked around the crowd with her eyes, and finally found the woman sitting in the corner with her family.
Three steps and two steps, Zhou Huanchun hurriedly walked to their side, and the master and servant who were originally sitting together saw Zhou Huanchun coming, with a complicated look in their eyes, on the one hand, looking forward to the news that the head of the family was getting better, and they were afraid that it was bad news.
"You don't have to worry, I just want to ask you, do you grow bamboo?" Zhou Huanchun's hands were clenched into fists.
"Yes, most people in Fanyang City grow bamboo, mostly fine bamboos from the north, but now it is the winter moon, and the bamboos have all withered."
After hearing this, Zhou Huanchun's eyes were happy, and after thanking her, she ran back to the lobby of the medical hall, and the speed was like a happy rabbit.
"Doctor Wu! I know! I know! "In recent days, Zhou Huanchun has never had such a pistachio as today.
Wu Er was startled by her, almost knocked over the medicine jar next to him, put down the work in his hand, and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?" ”
"I saw a lot of bamboos planted in the tea house that day." She gasped for air.
"Hanzhu?" Wu Er thought for a while, and slapped his thigh with a "snap".
"Haha, why didn't I think of it!"
After being engaged in medicine for so many years, Wu Er understood it at one point, and after speaking, he put down the work in his hand and went to the back hall, as for Zhou Huanchun, he took the spoon in his hand and continued to stir the medicinal soup, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.
As long as the antidote is found, then the people here will be saved, and Zhou Lingmo will be able to have one less trouble!
Wu Er found a few strong-looking male family members who were guarding the door, and went directly to the pharmacy.
"This ......"
After a while, several men had already arrived, and they looked at the man-tall jar in front of them, dumbfounded.
"Doctor Wu, what is this?" One couldn't help but be the first to ask.
Wu Er gently wiped the top of the big jar with his sleeve, and said firmly: "Elixir." ”
As soon as the men heard this, the big jar in front of them contained the elixir that could cure their relatives, and each one was more positive than the other, and after a while, the big jar was moved to the medical hall at the entrance of the alley.
"Aunt Zhou, prepare wheat straw."
"Ready." Zhou Huanchun took out a large bundle of wheat straw from the kitchen, which had been hollowed out in the middle, and she smiled: "I know what you are going to do." ”
"Actually, now we know that many people outside will not be infected by this flower residue, but just in case, we still can't let family members in." Wu Er wiped the top of the big jar with a cloth, and the top was covered with a dark piece of Xuantian soft glue. "Give me one."
Zhou Huanchun reached out and handed a wheat straw to Wu Er who was standing on the stool.
Wu Er aimed a section of wheat straw at Xuantian soft glue and inserted it with a "poof". The other end reached next to the nose of a patient, and a faint cyan mist floated out of the straw, and the mist surrounded the patient's face and gradually sank into the patient's body.
After that, there is the second and third patient.
By the time of the last few patients, someone in front of them had gradually woken up, coughing and talking sounds, and Zhou Huanchun felt that there was nothing more satisfying than this.
As long as they wake up and things settle down, this is the best result for her and Zhou Lingmo.
"This catastrophe is over."
After Yue Zhi and Zhou Lingmo returned to the tea house, Yue Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Passed? The people of Fanyang City are still in calamity. It was not easy for Zhou Lingmo to persist at this time, so he held his body to prevent himself from falling, and slowly sat on the chair.
In his heart, he was all in a hurry, this place was run by him, how could it be abandoned?
"What's going on over there with Wu Er?"
"The people who sent out haven't come back yet." The subordinate replied truthfully.
Zhou Lingmo frowned: "Let's go, go to Wu Er's place to have a look." ”
"Childe?" Yue Zhi stopped him behind Zhou Lingmo. "The person who claimed to be Zhou Huanchun's mother just now......"
"Don't talk to her about that just yet." Zhou Lingmo picked up a teacup, which was cold tea, and he raised his head and drank it.
"Let's go." Yue Zhi followed behind him and didn't stop him from drinking cold tea, but he looked at Zhou Lingmo's eyes, and he was already a little more distressed.
Inside the medical hall.
Zhou Huanchun sat tiredly in the corner decocting medicine, and Wu Er was still checking the patient's pulse and telling them some things to pay attention to. The two of them worked hard for more than an hour to give medicine to all the patients in the hospital.
Now at this moment, the symptoms are not serious, and the red color of the body has gradually faded, and the family members outside can also come in, Xiao Nannan is leaning on his mother's arms and talking to his mother.
Looking at everything in front of her, Zhou Huanchun felt that even though she was very tired, she didn't feel wronged, maybe this was the benevolence of the doctor. She looked at all this, leaning against the haystack next to the stove, stirring the decoction in her hands, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, and the joy in her heart was even more.
"Where is Zhou Lingmo now? If he saw all this, wouldn't he fly with joy? ”
Look outside, the hustle and bustle outside has been calm for a while, he should be safe.
Thinking about it, Zhou Huanchun's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and after a while, he fell asleep on the table......
"Wake up ......"
"Stars? Where are the stars? ”
Zhou Lingmo looked at Zhou Huanchun, who was sleeping groggily on the grass, and tried to wake her up, but she opened her mouth in a daze and was "star".
"There are no stars, it's time to open your eyes." Zhou Lingmo had no way to take her for a while.
The long eyelashes moved slightly, and Zhou Lingmo couldn't help but reach out and touch her eyelashes.
This slight touch made Zhou Huanchun scream "ah" and suddenly stood up.
"How's the patient?" After speaking, Zhou Huanchun saw Zhou Lingmo who was half-kneeling in front of the haystack in front of her, but was startled by her.
"You're here!" Zhou Huanchun woke up and saw Zhou Lingmo, and she was so happy that she almost pounced on Zhou Lingmo's body.
She wiped her dirty hands on both sides of the apron because of the decoction, but she felt that her hands were still dirty, Zhou Lingmo loved cleanliness so much, she must not like it......
What am I going to do......
was entangled, Zhou Huanchun suddenly felt light, and when she looked again, it was Zhou Lingmo who pulled her into her arms as soon as she stood up, and Yuezhi, who was originally guarding the door, quickly turned her back and blocked the door of the firewood room with her body.
Zhou Huanchun threw herself into Zhou Lingmo's arms, but her hand was still embarrassed to rub against him.
