Chapter 20: The Eve of Departure

It turned out that although Lin Jing was cold and stiff before, he had not lost consciousness, and had been suffering from the double torment of body and mind. At first, he was able to remain calm, but as Ma Xiaoling and Ma Dahai left one after another, he became more panicked and anxious, his eyes were a little blurry, the world presented in his eyes was ghosted, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Finally, Lin Jing's eyes went dark and he fainted.

However, in his subconscious, he seemed to have come to another world, in a white and vast environment with no clothes, and it was so cold that he had to curl up and rub his body desperately with his hands.

Despite this, to no avail, "he" is getting colder and colder, so cold that the world in his subconscious mind is almost stagnant. At this moment, a yellow light lit up in his chest, reflecting the snow-white world with a hint of warmth.

At the same time, his body gradually warmed up, and the heat traveled from his chest to his limbs, and from his limbs back to his atrium, and the cycle continued. The world around him was reflected brighter and brighter by the yellow light, and suddenly a burning pain came from his chest, which suddenly pulled "him" back from his subconscious.

After waking up, Lin Jing only felt hot and thirsty, and came to the kitchen in a daze.

"Brother Lin, what's the matter with the mark on your chest?" Ma Xiaoling looked at the mark that seemed to be left by burnt skin, and asked curiously.

Lin Jing touched it lightly with his hand and said, "I don't know, it suddenly hurt just now, but now it doesn't hurt anymore, it feels good to the touch, and I don't feel anything special." ”

"Ah, my stone!" Lin Jing touched it, and suddenly grabbed the little red rope hanging on his chest and shouted.

"What stone?" Ma Xiaoling saw Lin Jing's nervous appearance, and she didn't know what was going on, and she was a little inexplicable.

"A black stone left to me by my mother!" Lin Jing was crying, almost crying, he groped around his body like crazy, and after finding nothing, he fell to the ground and searched for it on the ground all his life.

"Brother Lin, I'll help you find it. As soon as Ma Xiaoling heard that Lin Jing had lost the relics left by her mother, she hurriedly helped find it.

The two children searched inside and out, and searched for almost all kinds of colored stones, but they couldn't find Lin Jing's black stone. Strange to say, the black stone had been hanging on Lin Jing's neck, but at this moment, it seemed as if the world had evaporated.

Lin Jing searched many times, but still couldn't find it, and sat on the threshold in annoyance, crying angrily, sad and remorseful. My father and mother are gone, and now even the only relic left by my mother has been lost, and Lin Jing can't wait that everything is just a dream. But the reality is so naked, so cruel, that even the opportunity to dream will not be given to you.

"Brother Lin, don't be sad......" Ma Xiaoling's kind comfort became a breakthrough for Lin Jing to vent at this moment. Before he finished speaking, Lin Jing interrupted: "What do you know, that's the only thing my mother left me." Without it, I ...... I told you, and you won't understand!"

Ma Xiaoling stood behind Lin Jing in a daze, the expression on her face was very complicated, and she had mixed feelings in her heart, not knowing what it was like.

After a while, Ma Xiaoling gently sat down next to Lin Jing, propped her hands on her knees, supported her chin, and said to herself: "My mother died before I can remember, I never knew what my mother looked like, and I didn't know if my mother was gentle, or as fierce as me." ”

Lin Jing stopped crying.

"Daddy said that my mother is the best woman in the world. Ma Xiaoling looked very calm, as if she was just telling a bland story: "But I don't believe it." If my mother is the best woman, then why doesn't she want me, why doesn't she even let me see her face. ”

As she spoke, Ma Xiaoling slowly took out an object from her collar and said, "Only leave me such a dead thing." ”

Lin Jing couldn't help but look sideways, and saw a full-body jasper lying quietly on Ma Xiaoling's slender palm, crystal clear, and a lifelike phoenix bird with slender feathers carved on the front.

Although Ma Xiaoling no longer spoke, at this time, silence was better than sound, and her meaning was very clear: "How can I not understand your sadness." ”

Silence, sometimes does not mean that there is nothing to say, on the contrary, it is precisely a thousand words, and I don't know where to start.

Ma Xiaoling and Lin Jing were silent, and neither of them spoke first. The two children were so immersed in their own minds that they almost forgot the time, the horse that slept in the bed, and the dead fox in the kitchen.

The sun was shining on the face, and the sun was warm. If there is ice in Lin Jing's heart, it has also been warmed at this moment.

"Actually, I don't know what that stone is for. Lin Jing finally opened his mouth first, and he said softly: "It's just that wearing it, it's as if my mother is still by my side." Without it, I would be an orphan without a father or mother. ”

As he spoke, Lin Jing burst into tears. Perhaps, what Lin Jing can't leave behind is not only his mother's relics, but the unforgettable past.

However, without the past, there is a future.

Ma Xiaoling also shed tears, hugged Lin Jing, and said, "Brother Lin, you are not an orphan! you still have my father, you still have me!"

"Sister Xiaoling. Lin Jing sobbed and hugged Ma Xiaoling.

Ma Xiaoling didn't know that Lin Jing really opened her heart from this day on, and treated her as her own sister.

"Ahh

After all, the girl is careful, and finally remembers that there are still many things to do.

"I'll help you!" The two children were busy for a while, and finally boiled the medicine and made soup for Ma Dahai.

In the evening, Ma Dahai woke up, looking very weak, but finally his life was safe. After taking a few sips of Ma Xiaoling's soup, he waved his hand to let the two children out and closed the door.

Ma Dahai took out a three-inch-long and one-inch-wide red talisman from his arms, and rubbed his hands lightly, and the red talisman instantly ignited sparks and turned into flying ashes.

"Crazy horse, what's the matter?, why do you look like this every time I see you?" The quiet room, the dim light, and the face of the ghost doctor quietly appeared in front of Ma Dahai.

"I can't say it in a few words. Ma Dahai got straight to the point and said: "Jing'er's poison is getting more and more weird, it froze into ice yesterday, and before I can take medicine, I will be fine today." Who knows what will happen next!"

When the ghost doctor heard this, his expression became solemn, and his two gray eyebrows were almost entwined together: "You tell me all the symptoms of this child, don't miss any details!"

Ma Dahai told the ghost doctor everything he knew.

After hearing this, the ghost doctor pondered for a long time and did not speak for a long time.

"Old ghost, can Jing'er's disease be cured? You have something to say!" Ma Dahai was anxious and scolded: "In vain, you claim that you can even cure ghosts, and you can't even cure a little doll's disease, what are you? Hehe, I see, you better stop calling yourself a ghost doctor, and heal your big-headed ghost!"

The ghost doctor remained silent and continued to meditate.

"Oh, what the hell are you thinking! If you can heal, you can heal, and if you can't heal, you can't heal!" If Ma Dahai wasn't weak, he was afraid that he was so anxious that he would jump up at this moment.

It's strange to say, the ghost doctor's fiery temper is not much better than Ma Dahai's, but at this moment, it is like a frosted eggplant, wilting, and he doesn't pay attention to Ma Dahai's roar. After another cup of tea, he said slowly, "Strange, strange, strange. ”

"What's strange?" Ma Dahai hurriedly asked.

"If what you say is true, this child's poison is only stimulated by the medicine I prescribed, and it has mutated. This is clear, but how could it suddenly get better? I really can't figure it out. "The ghost doctor was a little helpless.

"Could it be that the Gu on Jing'er's body has a spiritual effect?" Ma Dahai asked.

"Maybe it's possible. It's just that as far as I know, Gu insects like shade and cold, and they are most afraid of light and heat. The principle of the harmony of yin and yang, you are an expert, and you naturally know that the cold things can never solve the corpse poison of the cold and yin. The ghost doctor said, "So ......"

"Therefore, it was definitely not the Gu worm that relieved Jing'er's cold poison. Ma Dahai's expression changed suddenly, and he said categorically: "I have the Mandate of Heaven in the Bagua Sect, and I practice the infinite number of heaven and earth, and the number of changes in yin and yang, and I will never be wrong about this truth." You and I have been friends for many years, I know how your medical skills are, since you can't figure out what is the solution to Jing'er's cold poison, I don't have to go to others to be unlucky. ”

"I have made up my mind to let Jing'er go to Maoshan Sect. After Ma Dahai finished speaking, the muscles on his face couldn't help shaking, obviously quite excited.

"Okay, when it is decided, it is worthy of being a horse madman!" The ghost doctor seemed to be moved by Ma Dahai's absolute trust in him, and said excitedly: "If this child's illness is not good in the Maoshan Sect, I will exchange my head for his head!"

"Okay, without further ado, in ten days, I'll be leaving!" Ma Dahai said.

"Ten days, why are you in such a hurry? Are you willing to give up this hard-working Lingshan?" The ghost doctor obviously didn't expect Ma Dahai to be so decisive, and asked, "Although I am not good, I am determined to make sure that this child's illness will not happen again in the near future." ”

"No! This time I went to the Six-tailed Spirit Fox Mountain to catch a six-tailed spirit fox...... Before Ma Dahai finished speaking, the ghost doctor's eyes widened and he interrupted: "Horse madman, are you really crazy! The six-tailed spirit fox is the heart and soul of the eight-tailed demon fox, and each six-tailed has the possibility of being promoted to a seven-tailed ......one! Last time, you were discovered by the eight-tailed demon fox and failed to take your life, and it was already your fate......

"I guess I've been targeted by the eight-tailed demon fox, this place is no longer safe, I have to go. Ma Dahai didn't want to say more, since the matter had come to this, what was the use of saying more?

"Well, you're on your own. The ghost doctor sighed and said no more.

As soon as the figure of the ghost doctor disappeared, Ma Dahai heard a "bang", and Ma Xiaoling broke into the door and said with a crying voice.

"Daddy, Daddy, Brother Lin went down the mountain!"
