Chapter Twenty-Three: A Little Life Is Over

Li Shaoxi stroked his long hair and shook his head, and said, "The old man has already heard about the illness of the little boy. After saying that, he stretched out his hand to probe Zhu Youzhang's pulse, let go after a long time, pondered for a while, and said: "The pulse is stable and powerful, not like a sick body." Looking at the little boy's eyes, it means that he is full of energy, full of energy, and vigorous, and his viscera function is good. There is a saying that 'the essence of the five internal organs and six internal organs is all focused on the essence of the eyes'; and then look at the little boy's hair is moist, his body is flexible, and his speech is also full of qi, and the kidneys are in their hair, and their hair is blood; moreover, the little boy's voice and breath are harmonious, and his breathing is calm and unhurried, indicating that the heart and lungs are not hindered. After that, Li Shaoxi shook his head again and said: "However, the two meridians, three hundred and sixty-five meridians, their blood and qi are all on the face, and the little boy's face is pale, which is really a sign of bad health, and his body is thin and weak, but he doesn't know the cause." The old man was ashamed, so he closed the door and disappeared. ”

Zhu Youzhu asked, "Is there anything wrong with my body?"

Li Shaoxi said: "It should be in the way." The jury is still out on how far it will go. It will gradually be revealed as the little boy grows up. After pondering for a moment, Li Shaoxi continued: "The old man has studied medical skills such as "Shennong's Materia Medica" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" for many years, not to mention proficient but also knows five points, the old man has doubts, when did the little boy have this symptom?"

"Until I was eight years old, it was normal. Zhu Youzhu looked at Li Shaoxi and asked, "Divine doctor, am I poisoned?"

Li Shaoxi shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be." The old man heard that there is a village in the southwest, and the villagers make a living by raising Gu. The types of Gu are unheard of and varied, and the old man guesses that maybe ......"

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhu lowered his head and was silent for a while, picked up the tea that had been cooled and drank it all, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "I am ashamed to disturb the divine doctor today." Say goodbye now, and hope that the miracle doctor will not be blamed. ”

Li Shaoxi looked at Zhu Youjiao's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was outstanding, and he felt pity in his heart, and sighed: "The heart of the doctor's parents, the old man will definitely do his best to find out the cause of the little boy's illness, and I hope that the little boy will not sink like this." The little boy deserves a big responsibility, and he will be favored. ”

Zhang Erzhen's heart was also cold when he heard it, Zhu Youzhu didn't give up and ran to get such a result, how desperate and helpless he was, but he didn't show it on his face, and after saying goodbye to Doctor Li, he raised his feet and walked out. Zhang Erzhen bent down and bowed to Li Shaoxi, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, we will leave." ”

Li Shaoxi watched the two of them leave on foot, and said to himself: "It's an obstacle to longevity, and it's evil." ”

Returning the way they came, they soon saw the horses resting under the trees, untied their ropes and rode up. The forest was very humid in the early morning, but Zhang Erzhen leaned against Zhu Youzhu but did not feel a trace of warmth. His face was pale and his body was thin, he was not sick or poisoned, if he was in the Gu, Zhang Erzhen felt that it was indeed terrible. Gu, put a hundred insects in a dish, eat each other, and its survivor is Gu, which can kill people's lives and capture their souls. Zhang Erzhen shuddered, only to feel that the forest was surrounded by gloomy air, and the leaves rustled. Zhang Erzhen looked around, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart. Sure enough, several big men suddenly burst out of the bushes in the depths, wearing black night clothes and masks, and slashed at the two of them with large knives.

"Ahh The man in black was in hot pursuit, obviously prepared and unstoppable.

"I'm the one who bothered you. Zhu Youzhen quickly said in Zhang Erzhen's ear, and Zhang Erzhen panicked: "Are we going to die here today?"

"You can't die. Zhu Youzhu flicked the reins of the horse again, and the horse ran faster. But the forest was not a great road after all, and the galloping horse dodged the cross-branches and leaves, and tripped and fell to the ground. Zhu Youzhu escorted Zhang Erzhen to roll off the horse, turned around a few times and stopped, and the black-clothed killer had already rushed up with a big knife. The horse fell to the ground and was lying down, Zhang Erzhen was still dizzy and didn't react, so he was pulled by Zhu Youzhu and ran away.

"Why are they killing you. Zhang Erzhen's steps did not stop, and Zhu Youzhu led her to rush forward, Zhu Youzhen did not answer her, and they did not have the time to look back to see if the assassin had caught up, because following their footsteps, it was not far away. When an assassin's big knife slashed at Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen quickly let go of Zhang Erzhen's hand to dodge, and kicked the assassin in the chest, so hard and fast, Zhang Erzhen even saw the man in black spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Zhu Youzhu snatched the big knife in the assassin's hand, slashed at the several assassins who followed, and said to Zhang Erzhen in a hurry: "Find a place to hide!"

Zhang Erzhen quickly ran to the foot of a tall red pine, grabbed the branches and forks and began to climb up. She was glad she was dressed in men's clothes, and there were spikes everywhere on the pine branches, and when her little hands were already bloody and fleshy, she finally climbed up. She lay on the thick branch and looked at Zhu Youjiao, who was fighting with the man in black below, and shouted loudly: "Do you recognize the wrong person, the person who should be killed is here! It's your master here!"

All the men in black know is that the man they want to kill is a man, and if they are both, they should be killed. Soon, some of the black-clothed people separated and killed Zhang Erzhen's red pine. Zhang Erzhen clutched a long pole full of thorns in her hand, and watched several assassins kill her, so frightened that her legs almost slipped down, and shouted: "Help, help, is there anyone, help!"

Hearing the shouting, Zhu Youzhu quickly ran to the red pine, killed a few people, and said to Zhang Erzhen: "How can you run when you climb up!"

"I can't run, what should you do if I run away!" Zhang Erzhen said in a hoarse voice: "Leave me alone, you run!"

Zhu Youzhu is an underage child in the end, his two fists are invincible with four hands, he is gradually exhausted, he can't parry, Zhang Erzhen is anxious, and shouted loudly: "You hold on, the rescuers are coming, the rescuers are coming!"

An assassin couldn't hear the shrill cry of the child on the tree, and the sound seemed to penetrate the eardrums, so he rushed with a big knife and threw a big knife more than three feet at Zhang Erzhen. Zhang Erzhen fell down with the branches, like a fallen leaf, and looked at Zhu Youzhu helplessly and desperately. Zhu Youzhen stayed by Zhang Erzhen's side, protecting Zhang Erzhen, who had fainted on the ground, and fought with the man in black. After continuing to hold on for more than a quarter of an hour, seeing that he could not support it, the officers and soldiers looking for him finally arrived, and when they saw that it seemed to be safe, he lost all his strength, closed his eyes, and fainted beside Zhang Erzhen.
