Chapter 4: The Beginning of Blood Gu
It was really inconvenient for a few big men to take their children, so they found a place, lit a fire, and sat down. Xi Jue returned to Yuhualou before a few people to prepare the carriage, and he could come back before dawn. At this time, several children also woke up and were receiving Zong Yue's pulses one by one.
"How?" Chen Su asked, Zong Yue said: "The pulse is normal, but I see that these children are a little abnormal. ”
As he spoke, he walked to the child leaning under the tree and asked softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" The children shook their heads at first, and then a little boy said, "My stomach hurts a little." ”
"What's the pain?" Zong Yue asked. The little boy felt it and said, "It's like a twisting pain." ”
After speaking, he frowned, and in the next few hours, children continued to experience the same pain. Zong Yue took the pulse again, but the pulse was still the same.
Just now he was studying the medicine bag, every flavor is a herb, the same sex of the medicine is not very big, but the combination can make people diarrhea, these children are now suffering from stomach pain, maybe these herbs can help them, but in this wilderness, there is nothing to be done for a while.
Zong Yue saw Chen Su's daughter, these children had stomach aches one after another, including her younger brother, but Yiyi was fine, Zong Yue seemed to think of something, and said to Bailimo: "Give these children some internal strength first, maybe it will be useful." ”
After that, he walked to a child's side first, and put his palm on the child's back, and the child only felt a warmth enter his body, and the pain gradually eased. Chen Su also lost internal strength to his son, perhaps because he was tired of pain, and several children fell asleep again in a daze.
Zong Yue looked at the child who fell asleep and said, "Is the girl in Yuhualou?" Baili Mo shook his head: "I can arrive at noon at the earliest, and now I'm afraid that Xiduel is already on the way back." After a pause, he asked, "Do you think that girl knows this?" ”
Zong Yue was not very sure, and said: "Maybe it's Gu, I heard that girl mention that Gu worms enter the body, and there is generally no trace of them, unless they have an attack." ”
Chen Su heard the conversation between the two, glanced at his daughter Yiyi, and asked suspiciously: "You also drank the decoction and had dinner like them?" ”
Yiyi nodded, and Chen Su turned to ask, "Then why is Yiyi okay?" Zong Yue looked at Yiyi and said, "It's hard to say when this thing has an attack, or perhaps, Yiyi won't be affected by it."
"For things like Gu worms, Zong Yue's understanding is only superficial, Gu Qingyan is more proficient, and he will bring them all back to Yuhualou tomorrow, this matter still needs Gu Qingyan to make a judgment, he just needs to dispense the antidote.
In the early morning, the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, the sound of horses' hooves clicked, Baili Mo and Zong Yue woke up, woke up everyone, put the child into the two carriages, Chen Su took care of them in the car, Qin Xin is Bai Limo's maid also followed, and took care of the girl in another carriage, Zong Yue and Bai Limo got on the horse, and the group went back to Yuhualou.
What they didn't know was that before they left the bamboo forest in the valley, there were a few more people standing in front of the small cabin.
"You don't even know about this kind of thing?" The man's voice was cold.
The people on the side hurriedly said: "My subordinates only learned about this matter recently, and they found out that this is already the case." ”
He also recently learned that some of his subordinates frequently used children for experiments in order to quickly practice blood Gu, and he wanted to rush over to check the situation, but he didn't expect to see these people lying in all directions, and they had been out of breath for a long time. Since everything is like this, I thought about cleaning it up as soon as possible, as if there was no such thing, but who knew that this person was coming.
"In vain, as the hall master of Youzhu Hall, something happened right under your nose, and you only have to clean it up, you say, how can I make you reflect and reflect?"
The man was dressed in a dark ink-colored robe, wearing a hood and couldn't see his appearance clearly, and the master of the Youzhu Hall said: "The subordinates admit the punishment, and then they will find out who is reckless inside, and clean it up." ”
He Youzhutang is also the second deputy of this organization, and now his subordinates are secretly doing things without being clear, which is not allowed. After he finished speaking, he took out a fire fold from his sleeve and threw it at the wooden house, and after a while, the wooden house became a sea of fire, and the two people under the light of the fire looked even more weird, looking at the burning fire, the mysterious man said: "The post of Biluo Palace has been received, you and the Netherworld Hall will go with me." ”
With that, the mysterious man flicked his sleeves and disappeared from sight. This fire burned out, and for a while no one cared.
Gu Qingyan had a night of fun, and didn't go home until after noon on the second day, and didn't stop much at night and went straight to Yuhualou. At noon on this day, I entered the Yuhua Building.
Fu Chong received the news when Gu Qingyan had just entered the city, and greeted him outside the door early: "Four girls." ”
Gu Qingyan smiled at Fu Chong: "Uncle Chong is good." As he spoke, he gave the horse to the little maid and rushed towards Fu, "Where is my third brother?" ”
Fu Chong replied: "The third master and the second master have gone to the bamboo forest in the valley. I left yesterday, and I guess I'll be back later today. ”
Hearing that Zong Yue was also there, Gu Qingyan was a little puzzled, Zong Yue had never had anything to do, he would not come to Yuhualou, the beautiful name Yuhualou was too chaotic, and he liked to be quiet.
Fu Chong accompanied Gu Qingyan back to the back building, and heard Gu Qingyan ask him, "Why is the second brother here?" ”
Fu Chong said: "My subordinates don't know, the second master didn't come to the building directly, but called the third master out." Gu Qingyan nodded, chatted with Fu Chong for a few more words, and then went back to the house to rest first.
By the time Zong Yue, Bailimo and the others came back, Gu Qingyan had already woken up, changed into a loose robe and skirt, simply put his hair in a bun, and the complicated mask had also become a simple tassel to cover his face, and he was sitting in the room where Bailimo was working at the moment.
Just now she saw the two carriages and these seven or eight children coming from the window here, just thinking about it, she saw that Baili Mo and Zong Yue had already come in, Gu Qingyan got up and shouted the second brother and the third brother, and then sat down again, and then saw Chen Su and these children come in, and before Gu Qingyan could speak, Zong Yue said: "What do you think is wrong with these children?" ”
Gu Qingyan looked confused, if she wants to see a doctor, this should be what Zong Yue is good at, she can kill people at most, but she can't save people.
Baili Mo told Gu Qingyan about the bamboo forest in the valley at this time, although Gu Qingyan was puzzled by the strangeness of this incident, but he still raised his hand and let a child approach him, this is a boy, he is not timid when he meets a living person, Gu Qingyan looked at the child's face, except for some tiredness, it was nothing, his hand held the child's chin and made him tilt his head, it didn't seem to be abnormal, so he turned to look at Zong Yue: "Second brother is only afraid that he doesn't want me to see a doctor, right?" ”
As he spoke, he saw Chen Su walking over with Yiyi, Zong Yue asked her to see the difference between Yiyi and several other children, Gu Qingyan did so, let Yiyi get closer to herself, looked at her face and looked at Yiyi's neck again, and finally took Yiyi's hand, flicked her sleeve, and saw a small red dot in the middle of her wrist. ”
Chen Su shook his head, Gu Qingyan got up, walked to the other girls and looked again, those girls didn't, and looked at the boys, and the boys didn't, Gu Qingyan asked Zong Yue: "Second brother, is there really anything abnormal in the pulse?" Is that the herb you brought back poisonous? ”
Zong Yue shook his head, the herbs he brought back had already made Nan Ke go down to suffer. Gu Qingyan said: "That's it, I think the children are also hungry, let them eat first, and let them drink the soup after a while." ”
After speaking, Baili Mo nodded, and Qin Xin and Su Xin took the children down, leaving only a few adults in the house.
Baili Mo said: "What do you want to say?" ”
Gu Qingyan took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry too much, if the second brother confirms that the herb has the property of making people have diarrhea, most of the children will be fine after eating and drinking the decoction." As for Yiyi, I still have to need the help of the second brother. ”
Although Gu Qingyan was not completely sure, fortunately, the complexion and pulse of these children were the same, and they basically had no impact, and continued to explain: "They think they have been hit by Gu worm eggs. ”
When Chen Su heard this, he was a little flustered, and Zong Yue comforted him: "Brother Chen, don't worry, my little sister is born to fiddle with these Gu, poison and the like, it's easy to do it with her." ”
Gu Qingyan smiled, and still said calmly: "It's just worm eggs, just discharge them, the decoction that the two of them gave the children to drink first is afraid that it is an introduction, and then the worm eggs are eaten by the children at dinner." After a pause, he said: "Generally, the eggs are put into the children's bodies, and they want to use the flesh and blood of these children as foster support, and then take them out when the eggs grow into adults. "It sounds a little scary," but the eggs are also picky, not everyone can be relied on, those who are not suitable will react, and those who adapt will rely on the eggs. ”
Gu Qing said, that's why Yiyi is different from other children, she is the one who is suitable for insect eggs.
"So this blood Gu is not necessarily controlled by someone, as long as it grows into an adult, anyone can use it?" Bailimo asked.
Gu Qingyan nodded: "But now it's just insect eggs, and there is no harm for the time being." As for Yiyi, the second brother will see if he can use acupuncture to force out that mouthful of blood. Since the worm eggs have to rely on her, they will inevitably focus on their hearts and minds first. ”
Gu Qingyan said, looking at Zong Yue, Zong Yue understood, and just said that he would try it for a while. Seeing this, Chen Su couldn't be in a hurry when he saw this, so he had to keep silent.
Two hours later, Yiyi and her younger brother were brought back by Qin Xin, Zong Yue prepared acupuncture, and several other people left the room one after another.
"The other children have been placed?" Bailimo asked, and Xi decided to reply: "Yes, it has been settled, and I also asked where the home is, if there is nothing unusual after today, I will send it back." ”
While the two were talking, Chen Su kept staring at the movement in the house, and after a while, he saw his younger brother walking out with a small cup of blood, Baili Mo poked Gu Qingyan next to him, Gu Qingyan smiled, took the cup in his brother's hand, touched his brother's head, pulled out the small hairpin on his head, stirred it lightly in the teacup, picked out a milky white thing, and said to his younger brother: "Go and tell my brother inside, if the red dots on your sister's hand fade or disappear, it'll be fine." Then he saw his brother trotting into the house, and conveyed the word, and the matter passed.
Yiyi's blood Gu was taken out, and Chen Su was also relieved, but Yiyi still needed to rest for a day to recover before he could leave, so Chen Su stayed in Yuhualou first.
At night, Gu Qingyan was blowing the wind on the roof of the building, and he felt that someone was approaching, and it was a familiar feeling: "Second brother is here." ”
Zong Yue sat opposite Gu Qingyan and asked, "Tell me about the blood Gu you still know." Gu Qingyan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I don't raise this kind of thing." After all, this kind of thing is not allowed to appear in Nanwan now. ”
Zong Yue smiled and said, "You, I'm not afraid of you raising, if you really lose your life because of your own fiddling with this, I can also go to Lord Yama to ask you back." ”
Since the day Gu Qingyan followed his father Gu Ning to learn to use poison, Zong Yue was given a mission by the elders, that is, Gu Qingyan played in front to his heart's content, and Zong Yue rescued him again, "I just wanted to ask you what kind of person do you think needs blood Gu?" ”
Zong Yue is a doctor after all, he is benevolent, even if it is not about himself, he will have a little thought, Gu Qingyan knows this about him, but he doesn't say anything: "I don't know, I have never been concerned about this kind of thing, but they don't want to run into me, otherwise, they have to play again." ”
After that, Chaozong smiled sweetly, which made Zong smile helplessly, this girl, I can't say what kind of character she is, in short, when you think she is mature, she is like a child, sometimes you think she doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and she shows a different mind.
"The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the wind in the rivers and lakes is similar to that, as long as there are people, they can't stop."
Bai Limo's sudden appearance frightened Gu Qingyan a little: "You won't also come to ask about Blood Gu, right?" Bai Limo: "No, I'm going to ask you where Beiming went." I saw you come back, what about him? ”
"I asked Beiming to go to Jincheng to buy some special things, and I'll be back before early tomorrow morning."
They went to Qingquan Villa to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and the large gifts came out of the peach blossom stream, Gu Qingyan thought about preparing some smaller ones, so he sent Beiming to the old lady's hometown Jincheng to bring some snacks and special things that the old lady loved to eat.
"Suddenly asked Beiming, why did he provoke you by recruiting you?" Gu Qingyan asked Bailimo, and Bailimo said: "No, it's just that he is by your side, and we are all at ease." ”
Gu Qingyan smiled, his elder brothers, sometimes always treat her as a child, and their care is sometimes really clumsy.
"By the way, King Yu came the day before yesterday." Baili Mo said to Gu Qingyan, "He has been very idle recently, and he has nothing to do over there for the time being." ”
Gu Qingyan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything after all, so she was at ease if there was nothing to do over there.
Bai Limo continued: "Before he left, he left a plaster, saying that it was for Zong Yue to help you reconcile and reconcile, which is effective for removing scars." As he spoke, he looked at Zong Yue, who had already given the plaster to Zong Yue.
Zong Yue said: "I saw it, it was a tribute from the desert, and it did have the effect of removing scars, but it was just ...... I still need to add a few herbs to mix it with you before I can give it to you.
Gu Qingyan listened to them, and unconsciously put her hand on the right side of her face, because there were no outsiders, she just covered her face with tassels, and a few wisps of green silk blocked the scars. Ten years have passed, and the injury has healed, but the traces have been left, and Zong Yue has been applying ointment to Gu Qingyan all these years, but it is better to see it slowly.
It's false to say that you don't care, which girl wouldn't care about her appearance, if she didn't care, Gu Qingyan wouldn't have so many masks, but seeing that they actually cared more than they cared about themselves, and they were still trying to help themselves, Gu Qingyan's heart was warm after all.
Because of the stubble of the bamboo forest in the valley, it was two days later to send Chen Su's family away, so Gu Qingyan and the three of them set off for Qingquan Villa two days late, and when the three of them arrived, Xu Shaolin was already in the villa.
