Chapter 37: The Red Crisis
The white-haired man looked like a timid teenager, but his face was pale and sick.
There were three other people beside him, these three were wearing the Taoist robes of Tiangong Mountain, and their eyes were also red. It's just that unlike the poisoned people who went to the town, these three people stood very straight, and there were no beast whispers, like three stone sculptures.
Zhong Wanxin has always been worried that his apprentice will be evil and will use poison to harm people. In fact, his apprentice did. But Zhong Wanxin hadn't heard anything about his apprentice all these years.
He has decided to give up medicine, but there is only one thing he has not let go, and that is how to unravel the poison of the red pupil's resentment.
It's just that six years have passed, and although he is obsessed with this, he is no longer as vigilant as he was back then.
Zhong Wanxin prayed in his heart that his apprentice was killed by some righteous knight. He thinks so too, otherwise why hasn't that terrible poison caused any harm worthy of attention in six years?
He never expected that his apprentice was still alive, nor did he expect that in the past six years, his apprentice had just been improving the red pupil resentment.
The three of them were on top of Yiyue Rock with the Zhong family's father and daughter at this time, and they didn't know what was going on.
The bitten townsman's eyes were flooded with red, and his heart welled up with extremely strong anger and resentment, and then he heard a voice. The voice was like a god, preserving what little humanity was left in the poor townman's heart.
"You will gain stronger power, and from now on, you will no longer be an ant that no one cares about in the border of the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm, you will become my lovely pawn."
The voice resounded in the minds of the poisoned, the surging resentment was like the tide of the sea, and the last remaining bit of humanity was indulged in this sea water, and that voice was the straw that saved his life.
"Now, let's bite, let's kill!"
At the edge of the town, two people with red eyes slowly walked towards the center of the town.
The white-haired man and the three people beside him also walked slowly.
"Six years have passed, and this place has not changed much, gurgling, it is still so charming, it makes people want to destroy it." The white-haired man's expression showed a hint of excitement, if you ignore his evil eyes and sickly whiteness, he should be a very charming beautiful man.
There was an exclamation in the distance, from an old man. The white-haired man smiled even more, as if he could establish some kind of connection with the poisoner, and he could feel that there was another person.
On the top of the mountain of the Moon Rock.
Today, as in the past, Chen Hui came back to persuade Zhong Wanxin, but Zhong Wanpoison was still so stubborn. Chen Hui was thinking, maybe he should ask what happened back then, but the scholar didn't know the specific thing.
And Zhong Wanxuan will never say it.
So Chen Hui proposed to at least let Zhong Yunxiu go down the mountain for a walk, and promised that she would never let Miss Xiu do anything stupid again.
In this matter, Zhong Wanxuan still compromised in the end, and in the end, he couldn't bear to let his daughter be trapped in the grass house all the time, so he agreed to let Zhong Yunxiu go down the mountain. The four of them went down the mountain.
The border town, which has been quiet for six years, finally ushered in unprecedented bloodshed on this day.
Before they reached the foot of the mountain, the four people in the inn heard a scream. They smelled the smell of blood and hurried over to find out.
saw Uncle Wu's eyes red, his hands condensed into claws, and he used his old body to quickly grab his grandson Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu ran in a panic, crying as he ran: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you Grandpa, I'm Xiaoliu!" ”
Xiao Liu saw something that made him unbelievable, maybe Uncle Wu found that he couldn't catch up with Xiao Liu, so he turned his head and walked to the side.
The onlookers didn't know yet, and they only felt uneasy and strange as they watched Uncle Wu, who was usually kind, approaching step by step.
Zhong Yunxiu's face turned pale.
Neither the scholar nor the cook had ever seen such a person who had been poisoned by the resentment of the red pupil, and neither did Zhong Yunxiu, but her intuition had never deceived her.
"Brother Zhou, run!"
Brother Zhou was naturally the onlooker, he had just returned from chopping wood, and he was carrying heavy firewood on his back, he didn't know what was going on, but after hearing Miss Xiu's voice, he didn't hesitate to start running.
But it was too late after all. Uncle Wu opened his mouth, but Uncle Wu, who was so old that he had lost a lot of teeth, showed a beast-like bite force and bit the back shoulder of the prey.
The woodcutter who was called by Zhong Yunxiu as Brother Zhou let out a cry of pain and pushed Uncle Wu away with all his might.
Zhong Yunxiu wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the scholar.
"Look into his eyes." The scholar said.
Brother Zhou's eyes turned red. Just like Uncle Wu who had bitten someone, he slowly struggled to his feet, and let out a beast-like cry from his mouth.
Everyone in the inn felt a strange aura.
The cook was surprised and said, "Could this be some kind of contagious madness?" ”
Zhong Yunxiu covered her mouth in disbelief, shocked in her heart. For in all directions, many red-eyed people poured out, like ants that had seen food, and they began to gather in all directions towards the center of the town.
Zhong Yunxiu remembered that six years ago, his father's most proud apprentice seemed to have brought back such a patient, but his father did not cure him, and soon after, his mother died.
"Uhh
"Help...... Help me! ”
"Go away! Go away! ”
Cries were heard from all directions, and the unsuspecting townsfolk felt the strangeness, those with red eyes, as if they had lost their memory, and like bloodthirsty beasts, they bite people when they see them.
The scholar quickly judged that this was an unprecedented rare poison.
"It seems that we have encountered a terrible enemy, a man who has used some kind of poison to control the townspeople of the tribe."
Chen Hui nodded. The scholar's inference is naturally not wrong.
"This drug maker is also a genius, and this poison is extremely contagious. If there is no antidote, it will be the most terrible weapon in the world. The scholar had some speculation about the poisoner in his heart. But he didn't say it.
Zhong Yunxiu originally thought that his father's apprentice brought only a patient with a rare and strange disease. But now, too, she knows it's a poison.
"Show girl, run! They...... They're crazy! The townspeople began to flee in panic, and they also saw Zhong Yunxiu and the four of them.
But the real tragedy has just begun, when dozens of people from the town try to run to the corner of the village, only to find that the corner of the town is filled with countless strangers, who seem to be from other tribes.
Their eyes were red with blood, too.
Chen Hui used the wind and sand sword intent in an instant, covering the entire town and dense forest with sword qi. At that moment, even he felt a little shocked.
Thousands of people are surrounding the town on all sides.
The scholar said: "Go to the top of the mountain, and let all those who have not been bitten go to the top of the Moon Rock Mountain." ”
"Let's go to the top of the mountain!" Ding Qiliang's roar spread all around.
The old and weak women and children of the town began to run to the top of the hill. It's just that they move unusually slowly, and the beasts are noticeably faster than them.
There were cries of pain from the crowd, and among the dozens of people who went to the top of the mountain of Yiyue Rock, an elderly woman with limited mobility was bitten.
Zhong Yunxiu turned around and froze in place.
"Aunt Zhao!" She shouted hoarsely.
Aunt Zhao didn't respond to Zhong Yunxiu, her eyes turned red, and she ran towards the crowd with a fierce expression.
In the fleeing crowd, a child suddenly fell, and Xiaoliu was bitten. When he got up, his childish and cute eyes also showed a resentful red.
Then there is Aunt Li, although she was cured by Zhong Yunxiu after being bitten by the black-veined snake, her actions are slower than others after all. Soon, however, her movements became quicker, for she was already a beast that had forgotten pain.
Then there is Uncle Zhang, the kind old man who usually treats Zhong Yunxiu as his own, after being bitten, his face showed a lot of anger that made Zhong Yunxiu so strange.
There is also Uncle Liu, who used to send some rabbit meat and deer legs to his father when hunting, from a hunter who hunted wild beasts to a wild beast, and the townspeople who hurt her the most on weekdays, most of them were on the way to the top of the mountain, and were bitten by strangers by familiar people.
Without exception, their eyes are red. Those who were closest to them in the past were all turned into beasts full of resentment at this moment.
Zhong Yunxiu looked at all this, biting her lip tightly, as if she was going to bite blood.
She froze in place, seemingly unable to move.
Fate is sometimes like this, and when we see hope, it suddenly destroys everything.
Maybe you think that you will be a hero who can save others, maybe you think that good people will live a long life, even if fate has not given you such a promise, you will work hard to achieve it, and you will not hesitate to die!
Because those who love you really make you feel the beauty of this world.
So even if you are poisoned and injured, as long as you can learn how to treat them, you will not hesitate to do it.
When you heal the townspeople who love you and drive away their sickness, you will feel that you can bring happiness to others.
But when you think that all this is the answer of fate, you suddenly find that it is so easy to destroy all this,
Obviously trying so hard to treat them, obviously he has already seen the possibility of becoming a doctor.
But all of a sudden, it was ruined.
Zhong Yunxiu was in a trance, and the huge grief overwhelmed her.
Then she fell to her knees, her eyes full of helplessness.
Although she was young that year, only twelve years old, she remembered very clearly that her father and mother could not cure the red-eyed stranger.
When she saw Uncle Wu biting, her intuition convinced her that this was a disease that even her father couldn't cure back then.
"What should I do...... What should I do......"
She muttered the most helpless words in the world. I really want to save them, but I can't even cure my father, I'm just a bad doctor, what should I do!
The town where he had lived for several years was destroyed in an instant, and Zhong Yunxiu only had despair and helplessness in his heart.
At this time, she felt an extremely strong hand pick her up. She had forgotten that this was the first time she had been carried up the hill by the burly cook.
"As long as you live, good things will happen, and only when you die, it will be another kind of sorrow. Although they were poisoned, they are still alive, your father is the first doctor in the world, you are the first doctor in the world in the future, and you will definitely be able to save them. ”
The shopkeeper's gentle voice made Zhong Yunxiu feel warm, like a candle flame in the dark night. Looking at the expressions of the shopkeeper, the scholar and the cook, she could feel the strength of the three people in the inn. They didn't give up. Zhong Yunxiu suddenly had a trace of confidence, a doctor, can not be defeated by an incurable disease. Hopefully, that's how it is sometimes, just a little bit of it, like a faint light in the thick darkness, just a little bit is enough to support all the darkness.
Zhong Yunxiu's voice was full of unshakable determination:
"I'm going to heal them."
……
Zhong Wanxuan had already sensed that something was wrong, and he was at the top of the mountain and saw a dense crowd of people gathering at the foot of the mountain. He heard countless whispers and waves of beast whispers.
He began to pack his things and prepare to leave.
He understood when he heard the whispers of beasts that he had never dared to forget.
What should come will come. He was worried about Ah Xiu now, and he only hoped that the three of them could protect her. He can't cure this poison, these people are already equivalent to beasts with a lifespan of only a month or less.
Thousands of wild beasts were entrenched in one town, and he had a bad feeling in his heart that maybe today would be a catastrophe.
Zhong Wanxin knew that his apprentice was not far away.
Today, I will kill this apprentice, even if I die.
He found a very old notebook. It is his notes on his years of research in medicine. He never wanted his daughter to study medicine, but Zhong Wanxuan was holding the idea of death at the moment, only to find that what he had been insisting on was actually nothing.
If...... If you can leave alive today, you can teach your daughter medical skills.
Walk the road of the world and save the people of the world. What a magnificent word.
For so many years, Zhong Wanxin has been entangled in bringing a peerless talent who studied medicine to the wrong path. He really cared about that apprentice. Because he decided that the apprentice could surpass himself.
That's why he had so much regret and frustration when he knew that his apprentice had fallen.
But these days, he suddenly discovered that Ah Xiu might ...... More talented.
The most important thing is that she has a heart to help the world. He used to believe that there was such a thing, but he didn't have it six years ago, and his apprentice didn't have it.
If he can't live today, Zhong Wanxin suddenly thought that if he couldn't live, at least, he would give this medical experience to Ah Xiu.
Zhong Wanxin took one last look at a small sealed medicine bottle.
But it was just a glance, it was the elixir he made back then, which was used to relieve the poison of red pupils. There is only one pill in the bottle. It was he who worked tirelessly back then, but in the end, he didn't catch up. Zhong Wanxin already felt that he had lost to his apprentice, so he didn't take the medicine bottle with him in the end and walked down the mountain.
The red-pupil grudge can't be resolved. The first doctor in the world also thinks so, as long as he kills his apprentice today, as for saving people......
He looked at the thousands of roaring beasts at the foot of the mountain, and he gave up. After a month, they will die. From now on, no one will know about this poison.
Just kill the apprentice.
He headed down the mountain. The group of people from the inn came up the mountain.
So when he was on the mountainside, he saw the inn three people and his daughter, as well as more than a dozen townspeople. Zhong Wanxin was overjoyed, and his daughter was fine, so he wanted to let them escape with light skills, telling them that the villagers had been poisoned and that this place was already dead.
But before he could say anything, he saw Zhong Yunxiu's delicate face with unprecedented determination, and then he heard a word that he finally couldn't escape.
"Dad, fulfill my mother's last wish!"
(Tomorrow's chapter will be difficult to write, in fact, this chapter will be difficult to write, I would love to write the story of the female doctor a little bit, but it is not so easy to write.) But tomorrow, Zhong Yunxiu will be on the boat~ I will do my best to make this chapter not lose to the chef's chapter~)
