In terms of human experience, the pneumonic epidemic will recede after the fifth day of May.

On this morning, the people of Linquan twisted colored threads, hung incense packets, and cooked zongzi, and the same was true for the Xu family.

For Xu Yongzhi, this night was particularly tormenting, he came to the main room early in the morning to ask his parents for peace, but found that his father was not at home.

"Your father went to the isolation tent outside the wall," Mrs. Xu said to her son, "and he thought you were too tired to come back yesterday, so he didn't ask you to go with him, and it seems that he has already given the new prescription to the patient, and there should be good news this morning." ”

"As for you, don't you have anything to say to your mother?"

"Yes. But I want to see my father and talk about it. ”

"Why, can't your mother call the shots?"

"Mother, the child already feels pain and suffering just by recalling the various experiences of these days, so I just want to say it again."

"It's okay, but I also heard a rough idea from Xiaogui. I just want to ask you one thing, what is the character of this woman? But is it a good couple? ”

"It's not."

"I see," said Mrs. Xu, "your father will be angry, because he has strict family rules, and he must be punished for overturning on women." ”

"But my mother will also intercede for you, and this punishment will be postponed, we will settle that woman's visit first, is she coming today?"

"Mother, it may not be as simple as you think."

"It's not as complicated as you think, women all over the world knock on the door, it's nothing more than anger, money, and people, money, this is easy to understand, our family also has it, give her more silver, so that she will no longer be entangled, let's say a few more good words; angry, the other party feels that he can't express his grievances, and wants to scold you in person, or even beat you a few times, so he has to endure it; People, it's just easy to say it, you have to be a person, this is the most troublesome, what do you think, what type of lady is that? ”

"I don't think these three things together will satisfy her."

"Oh? And such a woman, I would like to see it. ”

"Mother, I have a sense of fear in my heart, I think she wants far more than we imagined."

"You were overwhelmed by her momentum, so you were afraid, hey, it's not right, is the big lady good-looking?"

"Honestly, it's beautiful."

"How old?"

"Twenty-seven eight? Will not be more than thirty years old. ”

"It's okay."

"Mother, don't be kidding."

"No kidding, the worst result is to agree to this family business for my mother."

"I don't agree," Xu Yongzhi said, "I can't bear it anymore." ”

Xu Zhixun returned from the patient.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly ordered her subordinates to put breakfast on the table, and the three of them sat down to eat together.

"The effect of the medicine is very good, at the latest I tried to use the prescription for six serious patients, and all six of them were successfully awakened this morning, and the fever has been reduced." Xu Zhixun said.

"Great." Mrs. Xu said.

"Xiaogui can't eat with us," Xu Zhixun said, "I just arranged for him to hurry up and send the printed recipe to the branches, send our fast horses to the branches, and all the doctors in the vicinity, and sent out hundreds of people at once, but unfortunately these hundreds of young people may have to spend the festival outside." ”

"The epidemic should also ease now." Mrs. Xu smiled and served porridge to her husband.

"Father." Xu Yongzhi suddenly knelt down for his parents and made a big salute.

"What's the matter, get up and speak."

"I may be in trouble."

"Get up, sit down, and tell me little by little what happened."

Xu Yongzhi went from buying bezoars, the eldest lady to submit a book, going to the banquet by herself, Mo Yuan begging herself to explain the grievances with Shi Dutou, spending a night with Mo Yuan, discovering Mo Yuan's mandala addiction, saying goodbye to the long pavilion, going to the handwriting on the city gate of Linquan Town, Mo Yuan took her to the hook yesterday, and Mo Yuan's coercion was all told to his father.

Mrs. Xu also heard this paragraph last night just now, and she was also a little shocked.

"Husband, this Mo Yuan is quite not simple, she is emotionally violent and extremely unstable, full of all kinds of destructive desires, such a woman, she can't let Jin'er be with him. But she threatened to ruin the reputation of the Xu family, and this matter must not be prevented. ”

Xu Zhixun looked at his wife and son, and said: "The reputation of the Xu family is only afraid that today is a trivial matter, what I want to say now can only be said once, and then we hurry up to do what we have to do, if the sky is pitiful, we may be able to escape this catastrophe." ”

"Husband, you're not kidding?" Mrs. Xu said.

"No kidding, I'll start with strategy. Before lunch, the enemy may attack Lin Quan, how many people will come? We don't know, but if we dare to do it, we must have enough strength. ”

"If we fight, no one is allowed to fight, we still have the spirits we purchased for epidemic prevention, there is saltpeter in the pharmacy, and we want to burn down the house, especially the basement under my study. There are things that can't fall into the wrong hands. ”

"If you get separated, Jin'er, you have three paths: the best strategy is to vote for your uncle Tian Dabang, in Wuling Peach Blossom Spring, the closest, but on that road, it is estimated that there are a lot of chasing soldiers; The middle strategy is to vote for your master Zhang Daochang, as long as you can go to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, you will be safe; The next policy is that you go to your way of origin, go to Anguo and meet your Uncle Taishi, and temporarily escape to the Khitan, these three people can believe that the other branches and business partners should not go, because they cannot shelter us, and will only bring us disaster. ”

"I'm going to gather the Bow and Arrow Society brothers right away!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"It's useless," Xu Zhixun waved his hand, "The hundreds of people I sent out are the best elites in this town, so it's better to send them to scatter around, lest they lose their lives." ”

"Moreover, the people who came to us today are not something that the Bow and Arrow Society can deal with." Xu Zhixun said.

Xu Zhixun turned to Mrs. Xu: "Ah Qian, it seems that those people are here this time." Are you scared? ”

"What are you afraid of, there have been more than 20 years of mutual love and vigorous days, and every extra day with you is earned."

"Daddy! Mother! Xu Yongzhi knelt down, tears raining down.

"I was wrong, I made a big mistake. If the son is not lustful for women......"

"I don't blame you, get up," Xu Zhixun pulled his son up, "The Mo Yuan you met is not a simple person. ”

"Who is she!"

"Mrs. Ji, Mo Yuan, when she gave a pseudonym, she clearly explained that she was a lonely clan. Mo Yuan, it's Mo Ti, she didn't tell you her real name. ”

"This woman's style of doing things is ruthless, not because you hurt her, but because she has such a personality, she doesn't know how many men's lives she has killed; Second, she has a deep relationship with my family, which is a grievance between two generations. ”

"Our family is not a famous doctor in Xinglin, your mother and I are both children of the mountain ghost wizard family."

"Mountain Ghost...... Sorcerer. ”

"Yes, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, we commemorate the poet Dr. Qu Yuan of the Chu State, he wrote the poem "Mountain Ghost", the mountain ghost is an ancient, warm goddess, she fell in love with a man when she was young, this person is a big husband, this is the ancestor of all ethnic groups in China, the Yellow Emperor."

"The mountain ghost promised the Yellow Emperor eternal life, let him leave behind the ordinary people in the world and live happily with her."

"The Yellow Emperor finally chose a short-lived human life, with his ancestors, some people want to let their children and grandchildren spread all over the world, and some people pursue their own longevity and freedom."

"The mountain ghost Niangniang still has feelings for the Yellow Emperor, so she selected a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, gave them blessings, and allowed them to borrow their powerful power to manipulate spells, just so that they could protect the human race."

"In modern times, there are nearly 10,000 people in the mountain ghost family, most of them are in the depths of the Peach Blossom Spring, and a few big surnames are Yu, Chen, Tian, and Huo."

"Our family's surname is Yu, and the Yu family has been in charge of the Wizards Guild for a long time, and the relationship with various courts and magistrates is all managed by us."

"The sons of the Chen family are often mediocre warlocks, but the daughters will become powerful witches, and they control a girl group, which is the wizard sisters, who are jealous and hateful, but their methods are particularly fierce."

"The Tian family, that is, your grandmother's family, the Tian family is the carefree faction among the four major families, and they are also researchers, they have some ancient spells, they don't show their secrets, they don't come out to move around, but few people dare to mess with them."

"The object of the Huo family's contact is Jianghu, and he is the one who loves to accept children and disciples the most. The Huo family believes that ordinary people, whom we call Sumin, should be developed to join our tribe. They have even taken the initiative to accept several groups of disaster victims, selected some young children from them, and subjected them to harsh and inhumane drug trials, and finally discovered the way for ordinary people to master magic. ”

The Huo family once sent warlocks to various festivals to help those warlords and post-mortems to give advice, and later the guild expelled many disciples of the Huo family, twenty years ago, the head of the Huo family was a five-year-old child, and was actually in power by the steward Shangguan family. ”

"The Shangguan family is very low, three generations ago they were still plain people, but they showed great talent as mages, but until the third generation of the lord's younger brother Shangguan Luoma, married a very young plain woman. But this Shangguan lady is very talented, and her mana is related to mind control, in our words, it is a charm spell. ”

"Mrs. Shangguan is Mo Yuan! No, Forsythia Lee! Xu Yongzhi shouted.

"That's right."

"When I was twenty years old, your mother was sixteen years old, we were engaged since childhood, on the seventh day of the seventh month of July that year, the mountain ghost Niangniang celebrated her fifth birthday, and the four major families and all the wizards who went out returned to the Peach Blossom Land to participate in this grand birthday festival."

"Your mother was chosen to play the role of the mountain ghost Niangniang, this is a very high honor, only a girl with talent, high family personality, and beautiful appearance can be selected."

"Li Forsythia is two years younger than your mother, and by marrying Shangguan Luoma, he just joined the wizard group, and then Shangguan Luoma died for no apparent reason."

"By the way, wizards are different from Su Min, the power of the mountain ghost Niang Niang can make witches look much younger than amateurs, which is why Li Lian Qiao looks much younger. In addition, shamans do not follow the rules of Confucianism like people do, unmarried shamans can make friends with each other, and widowed shamans can remarry, because we have a long life, and we have potions to avoid those unnecessary pregnancies and births. ”

"So, got it? What Li Lianqiao threatens you will only be regarded as a joke in the wizarding world. ”

"Yes, thank you, father."

"I don't tell you this because I don't want you to live as a wizard anymore, I want you to live this life only as a doctor or a scholar."

"Understood."

"On the day of the 5,000th birthday festival, your mother was riding a float that day, surrounded by tigers and leopards, everyone believed that the mountain ghost Niangniang was like this, Ah Qian, you were really beautiful that day."

"Look at you, tell the kid about this." Mrs. Xu's cheeks were also crimson.

"Within a few days, the Yu family and the Tian family both received letters from the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, saying that they came to watch the ceremony that day, fell in love with your mother, and wanted to welcome your mother as the crown princess, and asked me to divorce your mother."

"Someone wants to take away my fiancée, of course I can't agree, but I'm not the head of the Yu family, my father is gone, and it was my uncle Yu Sanjiang who was in charge at the time, he thinks this is a good opportunity, if the wizards become the queens of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they don't have to hide far in the depths of Taoyuan in the future, he wants us to integrate into the plain society, in other words, he actually wants to make the world a magic world."

"I don't care about all those nonsense for the sake of the clan, your mother is the person I like, I love her, I can't live without her. They worked together to catch me and arranged for a woman to accompany me every day, I thought they were trying to make up for me and make me forget my lover, but I was wrong. ”

"That woman is Forsythia Lee!"

"That's right, her charm spell can control others, he can't create thoughts that he doesn't have, for example, she can't manipulate me to hurt your mother and you, but she can suddenly stir up the cranky thoughts that you usually restrain you. If you think this woman is beautiful and have the slightest thought, she will take advantage of the situation and start there. ”

"I spent three months under house arrest with Forsythia Lee, and I did have sex with her, but she kept trying to marry me, but I always blocked that."

"A few months later, some elders in the clan felt that I was pitiful, and the guild gradually relaxed its care for me, so I managed to escape from the depths of Taoyuan, and met your master on the way, we were like-minded, and became brothers, and then the two of us worked together to rescue your mother from the deep palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I changed my surname, surnamed Xu, and added a double, which means that I and your mother, the two of us must be together."

"We escaped from the Southern Tang Dynasty court and guild all the way, and finally settled in Linquan Town, and then we had you, and we have all this now."

"Later, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty fell out of favor and died violently, and the palace said that the crown princess also died of illness, and your uncle Yu Sanjiang also understood that it was a high-risk thing to let your mother marry the prince, so he didn't want to embarrass us anymore, so he withdrew our search warrant."

"We lived twenty years of peace, and we thought it was all over."

"But Li Lianqiao came to the door, I think she will definitely have strong reinforcements."

Xu Zhixun looked at Xu Yongzhi: "Go get the sword, prepare five to seven, and put them all here." Let the family sprinkle the house and cellar with saltpeter and sulfur, and if it fails, we set it on fire. ”

Said to his wife: "Bring Xiao Duo over, Jin'er will be enough to deal with Li Lianqiao in a while, and I will deal with other enemies, and you will take the child and flee to the Peach Blossom Garden's mother's house." I am writing a letter of resignation to you now, and this letter writes that you are not the daughter-in-law of the Yu family, but the daughter of the Tian family again, even Li Lianqiao will not dare to do anything to you. ”

"Husband, why are you so naïve?" Mrs. Xu smiled and snatched the ink from his hand.

"Will they keep your children and grow up to take revenge? Today we are all together, life, death, don't hesitate any longer. Let Jin'er take his sister away, we haven't let him be a wizard, he learns swords, he reads four books, he can forget our hatred and choose his own life. ”

Xu Zhixun held his wife's hand and held his wife tightly in his arms.

The love of middle-aged people is often not to look forward to the best times together, but to face the worst situations together.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of presumptuous and smug laughter in the air.

A moon door was drawn out of thin air in the air, like water waves, and on the other side of the door walked a handsome woman in a gray suit with her hair combed in a high bun, and behind her there were eight girls in the same costume.

"The witch sisters, surnamed Xu, should repent of their sins."

At this time, Xu Yongzhi had already arranged to stop, hid his sister in a solid room in the backyard, wore chain mail, took a few long swords, returned to the hall, and was taken aback when he saw the woman in gray.

"Ji Xiaohuan?"

"To be precise, it's Chen Xiaohuan, the chief of the Wizard Sisters, Xu Gongzi, don't come unharmed, Skynet can't escape."

At this moment, there was a loud bang at the gate, and someone blew it up from the outside, and two men in black robes and canes came in from the outside, followed by four samurai in armor, face armor, and long swords, exuding the smell of death.

Following these six people in was a general with an obscene description, with a group of armor soldiers and archers in Southern Tang Dynasty uniforms, and the people outside the door were bustling, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses there were.

At this time, the Southern Tang warship had crashed into the Linquan wharf, and a row of bows and arrows killed all the guards and porters on the wharf, and Li Lianqiao, who was dressed in white, jumped off the ship and walked into the gate of Xu's house lightly.

That burst of arrogant and smug laughter was the clarion call for her to launch a general attack.

The Southern Tang Army, the Wizards' Guild, the Witch Sisters, and Li Lianqiao, the four groups of people have surrounded Linquan Town, and they have surrounded the Xu family.
