Bai Rong doesn't like others to be close. Even his brother Bai Fenglin has little physical contact, not to mention Rouge and other outsiders. I'm afraid that only Ruoxin, he can accept it.

Turning around, he took off the last shirt and went back to bed, his usual neat skills now looking a little stiff and clumsy. Ruoxin was amused to see that the red glow on his face had spread to his ears.

Gently applied the medicine paste to Bai Rong's injured buttocks, Bai Rong was shocked again, and there seemed to be a faint * coming, but then it was silent, only his slightly rough gasp, and the trembling firm buttocks revealed his uncalm mood.

After dealing with the back, Bai Rong died and refused to turn around and let Ruoxin see the injury in front, Ruoxin understood his embarrassment, thinking that he could easily deal with the injury in front of him, so he didn't force him again.

Let him cover the quilt and rest, Ruoxin packed up the hot water, as well as scissors and the remaining gauze, and closed the door and left.

……

Early the next morning, Ruoxin got up early, did not disturb Bai Rong and Rouge, carried the medicine basket, and went to the back valley.

There is still a white mist in the valley, morning dew is still hanging on the grass and trees, and the mountains and rocks are also very slippery. Ruoxin carefully crossed most of the valley and collected the herbs she needed, some of which were extremely effective for wound recovery, and some of which she had to send to Fenghua.

By the time she got home, Bai Rong had already gotten up.

Ruoxin put down the medicine basket and the cloth bag that was still moving in the sealed mouth, washed her hands by the well, and asked, "How is it?" Do you feel better from your injuries? ”

"It's much better, the girl's wound medicine is very effective."

Ruoxin looked up at the white face with an unnatural expression, and curled her lips and smiled, "That's natural, but if you want the wound to heal quickly, you still need to apply the medicine a few times." ”

Bai Rong was speechless, and the suspicious dark red on his face deepened.

Ruoxin put the herbs picked by Bai Rongcai into the pharmacy, and put the rest into the basket she brought with her when she entered Wanchun County on weekdays. Bai Rong asked on the side, "The girl is going to the city today?" ”

"Yes, buy some things that will be used for the sacrifice in three days, and do some personal things." Ruoxin replied, pulling her docile old horse from the stable, and tying the basket to the saddle.

"Bai Rong will accompany the girl." Looking at the pitiful and listless aconitum staring at Ruoxin, Bai Rong said.

Ruoxin turned around and asked, "The wounds on your body still need to be recuperated more, and I am afraid that the wound will be pulled by riding a horse." ”

"What Bai Rong has on his body is only a small injury, not to the point of recuperation." Bai Rong said calmly, "And the aconitum walks smoothly, and there won't be too many bumps when running, so don't worry, girl." ”

Ruoxin thought for a while, smiled at Bai Rong and nodded, "Okay, you can go with you, let's go slower on the road." ”

……

When she arrived in Wanchun County, Ruoxin turned into West Street first. Bai Rong was puzzled, but he didn't ask, just dutifully stayed by Ruoxin's side.

During the day, Qinghefang was still not open to welcome customers, but Na Tsing Yi and some other teenagers still stayed in the front hall. Seeing Ruoxin coming, Tsing Yi was overjoyed, and stepped forward and said, "Ruoxin girl, you have been in the future for a few days since that day you left." ”

"I've been busy at home lately, and I'm getting better after a while." Ruoxin moved her gaze to Qinghefang, Tsing Yi was clear-minded, and said, "Miss Ruoxin is here to find Fenghua Gongzi." He went out early in the morning with the quiet girl, and now he has not returned. Does Miss Ruoxin want to wait in the workshop for a while? ”

"Really?" Ruoxin retracted her gaze, looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and said with a smile: "No need, I still have some things to do in the city, and I came today to give these medicines to Fenghua." ”

After speaking, she handed the bamboo basket in her hand forward.

"Medicine? What medicine? Tsing Yi took the weighty bamboo basket and looked at Ruoxin with some doubts.

"It's medicine for Fenghua." Ruoxin's smile faded, and she wrinkled her eyebrows slightly and said, "Three days ago, I saw that Fenghua Gongzi's complexion was not very good, so I checked his pulse when he didn't pay attention, and found that Fenghua Gongzi's veins were poisoned. What Ruoxin didn't say was that she suspected that Fenghua had some kind of connection with her master, so she found an opportunity to find out his pulse, but she didn't expect to find out this vein. Things were unexpected, if others were like this, she didn't have the kind heart to care, but this person was the man she liked, but she couldn't ignore it.

Tsing Yi's eyes widened, she looked at Ruoxin in disbelief, and stammered a little: "Miss Ruoxin said it...... Do you mean that Fenghua Gongzi was poisoned? Then he's ...... now."

"He's a chronic poison in his body, not a day, so there's no danger yet. It's just that the amount of poison that has accumulated is also quite large, if it is not treated, I am afraid that Fenghua will be half paralyzed after three years, and his life will not exceed five years. ”

"Ruoxin girl, are you sure? Could it be a mistake? We have never heard the doctor in the workshop say that Fenghua Gongzi has been poisoned. Tsing Yi's voice trembled slightly, and he asked a question, but it made Bai Rong unhappy.

Bai Rong's face condensed, and he said coldly: "The girl is proficient in medical skills, how can she be compared to your pus-filled doctors." ”

Ruoxin didn't get angry, but just asked: "Tsing Yi Xianggong, does Fenghua have any symptoms of numbness and spasms in his hands and feet on weekdays?" ”

Tsing Yi shook his head, "I don't know about this, but I did see Wuyan pinching his arm for his son." ”

Ruoxin nodded, her face was slightly serious, and said: "That poison is extremely secretive, it is not something that ordinary doctors can diagnose, and numbness and spasm of the hands and feet is the beginning of that poison." If left untreated, the condition will worsen in the future, which will lead to hemiplegia. After that, it's life-threatening. ”

Tsing Yi's face was pale and pale, and he grabbed Ruoxin's arm in a panic: "Who is so vicious as to harm Fenghua Gongzi, can that Gongzi still be saved?" ”

The arm was scratched and hurt, Bai Rong wanted to swing Tsing Yi away, Ruoxin shook his head at him, turned his head and still smiled and comforted Tsing Yi and said: "You don't have to worry, I brought some herbs, which can remove the evil qi of the five internal organs and nourish the marrow and nourish the heart." These herbs may not be available in the pharmacy in Wanchun County, I still have a recipe here, you sent someone to take the herbs and match the herbs I picked, one paste a day, let Fenghua drink it. Seeing that Tsing Yi looked at her with wide eyes, Ruoxin paused, and said: "If you don't believe me, you can send someone to show the recipe to those old doctors to see if there is anything different." When my family affairs are over, I will come to detoxify Fenghua, and I will go once every three days in the next three days to administer acupuncture treatment, so that in March, I can help him dissipate the toxins in his body. ”

Tsing Yi hurriedly shook his head, "How could Tsing Yi suspect Miss Ruoxin, it's just ......" Tsing Yi looked at Ruoxin, her eyes were deep, "Miss Ruoxin told Tsing Yi about the situation of her son, aren't you afraid that the person who poisoned her is Tsing Yi?" ”

Ruoxin opened the bamboo basket held in Tsing Yi's hand, took out the cloth bag inside, glanced at Tsing Yi with a complicated expression with her eyes, and asked, "Is that what you are doing to Fenghua?" ”

Tsing Yi's eyes widened, "How can it be Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi respects and admires Gongzi in his heart, how can he use that despicable and vicious means to harm Gongzi?" ”

"If I dare to tell you, I believe that you are not the one who poisoned you, and even if you are, I will not let you have another chance to poison." Ruoxin said with a smile on her face, handing the cloth bag that was gently shaking in her hand to Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi put down the bamboo basket, took the cloth bag, untied the sealing straps, and looked inside, and suddenly lost his face. I saw that the cloth bag contained three white flower snakes that were bent and coiled into a ball, with white flower markings on a black background, and when I saw the seal of the cloth bag opened, the three snakes all raised their triangular snake heads, spitting blood-red letters from time to time, and hissing threateningly to Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi screamed, hurriedly tightened the mouth of the bag, threw the cloth bag back into the bamboo basket, and asked tremblingly, "Miss Ruoxin, this snake ...... This snake is also for Childe......"

Ruoxin nodded and explained, "This is the White Flower Snake, although it is highly poisonous, it is also a good medicinal material. When using it, take three inches of its head and tail, soak it in wine and simmer it slowly, and cooperate with my acupuncture therapy in the future, so that Fenghua can take it once a day. This snake must be alive before it can be used in medicine, so keep these three and deal with them when I come back in three days. ”

Tsing Yi took a breath, pulled the corners of his mouth a little stiffly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said with difficulty: "One service every three days, Miss Ruoxin is saying that Gongzi will use one of these snakes every three days?" However, the live white snake Wanchun County is not common, and this snake is very venomous, and it is extremely difficult to catch it with a sensitive response, and it is very difficult to catch it in three days. ”

"I'll take care of that." Ruoxin smiled comfortingly at Tsing Yi and said.

"But this is very dangerous, the white flower snake is extremely poisonous, if Miss Ruoxin is accidentally bitten, her life is in danger."

"If you want to get the heart of Fenghua Gongzi, you naturally have to put in a lot of effort, don't you?" Ruoxin said half-jokingly, looking at Tsing Yi's anxious and worried look, then comforted him, "Don't worry, since I should do this, I naturally have a way to prevent it." This is true, the poison on her body is probably worse than that of the white flower snake, even if she is bitten, it is only a slight pain, and the poison has no effect on her.

Tsing Yi carefully examined the expression on Ruoxin's face, and saw that her expression was relaxed and she really had a way, so she let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the time, thinking that there was still something to do, Ruoxin said: "Tsing Yi Xianggong, you have to give birth to these three snakes first, and after three days, when I am done, I will come to Qinghefang for Fenghua Gongzi acupuncture." ”

Tsing Yi nodded, seeing that Ruoxin was leaving, she spoke again and asked worriedly, "Is Fenghua Gongzi's body really okay?" ”

Ruoxin narrowed her eyes, thought about it, took out a sealed bamboo tube from her belt, and handed it to Tsing Yi, "This bamboo tube can be used for communication." If there is anything important to find me, just go to the east gate of the county seat, pull out the plug of the bamboo pipe, inside is a special spice, my sister tamed a bird, can smell this special fragrance from more than ten miles away. ”

Tsing Yi took the bamboo pipe and put it away carefully, with joy and worry on his face, watching Ruoxin leave.

After leaving Qinghefang, Bai Rong was silent, but his expression was slightly stiff and his face was a little ugly.

……

The bamboo pipe given to Tsing Yi was only used just in case, but I didn't expect it to be used the next day.

Rouge found Ruoxin in the council hall of Baijia Village and told her that the tracking bird was restless, and she should have smelled the scent of tracking.

Ruoxin's expression was deep, was something wrong with Fenghua?

Before leaving, she had told Tsing Yi that in the past three days, she had something important to do, although Tsing Yi was still a teenager, but he had a delicate mind, if there was no really important matter, he would not send a message to find her urgently.

However, although the poison in Fenghua is not shallow, Ruoxin has seen it, and there is no worry about her life for the time being, and it stands to reason that there will be no sudden changes during this time.

So what the hell is going on?

Although she was strange in her heart, she was still a little worried after all, and after thinking for a while, she entrusted the preparation of the sacrifice to the village chief and went to Wanchun County.

Tsing Yi stood at the entrance of West Street waiting for her, pacing back and forth, as soon as he saw her, his anxious face suddenly showed a sigh of relief, took Ruoxin's hand and ran to Qinghefang, and said while running, "Ruoxin girl, you are finally here, Fenghua Gongzi has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Ruoxin's heart skipped a beat, and she was a little uneasy, "Fenghua Gongzi is waiting for me?" What happened to him? ”

"It's not Childe's accident." Tsing Yi's words made Ruoxin's heart relax slightly, and the next sentence made her wrinkle her eyebrows again, "It's Miss Jing who has an accident." I don't know who poisoned me, and now I'm unconscious and my breath is weak. ”

Tsing Yi dragged her to Qinghefang, and Ruoxin found that the door that was usually open during the day was now closed. They entered through the side door, and the people they saw along the way had sad faces, and a few of the dancing girls even hid their faces and wept.

Whether it's because Jing Nu treats them very well on weekdays, or some people who know Jing Nu's identity cry that they have no place to live if she dies, in the current situation, it should be full of seriousness.

It's just that it wasn't the person she was worried about that something happened, so she put a stone down in her heart, and there was not much anxiety.

When Tsing Yi dragged her through a verdant bamboo forest, she learned that Jingnu had been placed in Qingyi Courtyard after being poisoned, which was Fenghua's residence.

It is estimated that he doesn't want Jingnu's current situation to be known by too many people, Fenghua only let a few people stay to take care of Jingnu, and the others are blocked from Qingyi Hospital. Tsing Yi pulled Ruoxin and hurried to Fenghua's bedroom, except for the quiet girl lying on the bed, there were only three people, one was crying with tears on her face, and the other was a woman who was standing in front of the wooden basin with her back and twisting wet wipes, and the other was Fenghua sitting at the head of the bed.

Ruoxin walked to the bed and looked at the poisoned Jingnu lying on the bed.

Because of the poison, Jingnu is much worse than the peerless appearance of the usual time, her appearance is still beautiful, but she lacks that dazzling brilliance, like a puppet without a soul, and her closed eyes can't see the ghostly light that can make the viewer intoxicated and sparkling. It's just that a beauty is a beauty after all, and even in illness, there is a pitiful beauty that makes people want to pity.

Fenghua looked at Jingnu lying on the bed worriedly and anxiously, seeing that her pale face was covered with fine sweat, Fenghua raised her sleeves from time to time to wipe her sweat. didn't notice Ruoxin who had already walked to him.

Seeing that the man I like is worried and anxious about other women, it is a woman, and I am afraid that I am not very happy. Ruoxin felt a slight blockage in her heart, and exhaled, teasing herself that she was really still a normal woman.

"Childe, Miss Ruoxin is here." Yun Gong saw Ruoxin standing on the edge of the bed without moving, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.

Fenghua turned his head and looked at Ruoxin, the expression on his face was complex and indescribable, his gray eyes were deep, and he seemed to have indescribable emotions.

He got up, gave up the position at the head of the bed, and said hoarsely, "White girl, can you see how Jingnu is doing now?" ”

Seeing the bloodshot in his eyes, Ruoxin finally nodded slowly and moved her gaze to the unconscious Jingnu. She took a few steps closer, sat down where Fenghua had been sitting, and took Jing Nu's slender wrist to check the pulse.

Ruoxin closed her eyes and quietly took a pillar of incense, still silent.

Fenghua pursed her lips and sat at the end of the bed, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking, the other people in the room were anxious, but they didn't dare to disturb Ruoxin.

Until finally Yun Gong couldn't help it, and asked, "What is the situation of Miss Jingnu?" Why Did You Take So Long? ”

Ruoxin slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Yun Gong, let go of her hand, and spit out a sentence slowly, "She is highly poisonous, poisoned into her lungs, and she can't be saved." ”

Fenghua trembled, looked at her in disbelief, his hands gradually clenched into fists, and said: "Tsing Yi said that you have good medical skills, and you can diagnose and treat what ordinary doctors cannot, you can solve the chronic poison in my body, how can you not save Jingnu?" ”

Ruoxin stared directly at Fenghua, and her words were slow, but the words were clear, "I have a way to save the people I can save, but what is in her is a fierce poison, the poison seeps into the blood as soon as it enters the mouth, spreads all over the body until the internal organs, and now it is a checkmate of death." I am not a god, how can I treat people who are incurable? ”

As soon as the words came out, there was a dead silence in the room.

"You have a way." An unfamiliar female voice suddenly came from behind Yun Gong, Ruoxin squinted, only to find that the person who spoke was the woman who had her back to her, dressed in a pale yellow brocade silk, with a face like a hibiscus, about twenty-four or five, looking a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

The woman stared at Ruoxin and said, "You have a way to save Jingnu, only you can, Bai Ruoxin." ”

The sentence "Only you can" made Ruoxin have a vague image in her mind.

Looking at the woman's appearance carefully, the image in her mind gradually became clear, Ruoxin's lips hooked lightly, and she said her name, "Su Yue." ”

"It's rare that Mr. still remembers Su Yue, and Su Yue is honored." Su Yue slowly approached her, with a touch of weirdness on her face, and then said, "Bai Ruoxin, you can save Jingnu, you have a way to save her." Don't you dare admit it? ”

Su Yue's voice was low, not good, it felt like a touch of ice water poured on her body in the dark night of deep winter, which made people feel cold.

The Jing Nu is highly poisonous, and the poison has entered the internal organs. It is no longer possible to treat it with ordinary medical skills. But she did have a way to save Jingnu, that is, to let her exchange one of her abilities for a chance in the name of the Bai priest.

The matter was extremely secret, and no one knew about it except those close to her. And even if others knew about it, they could not divulge it, and even if they did, if they did, they would invite him to revolt, and that would befall the priest with the calamity that had befallen him.

Su Yue has lived in Baijia Village since she was adopted by Bai Qingyin's parents, and she will know about the priest's ability, either overhearing it, or someone in the know will tell her.

Others don't know why Su Yue is sure that Ruoxin has a way to save her, but Fenghua knows Su Yue's past and knows that she and Ruoxin were once from the same village.

Hearing Su Yue's words, Fenghua looked at Ruoxin and asked, "White girl, do you really have a way to save it?" ”

Ruoxin gently curled the corners of her lips and said, "I do have the ability to keep her from dying, but I won't save her." ”

Fenghua was silent, looking at her quietly, with complex feelings in her eyes.

Yun Gong on the side jumped in front of her, pointed at her nose and scolded: "You are cold-blooded and ruthless. ”

Ruoxin smiled and did not refute.

She is cold-blooded and ruthless, she is not a saint, she does not have such noble sentiments, such a broad and selfless heart, knowing that saving others and harming herself also rescued a person who has nothing to do with her. She is not a doctor who hangs a pot to help the world, and she has no ability to help all beings without me. It is her duty to protect the villagers of Baijia Village, and after the confines of Baijia Village, she is not obliged to save other people.

Yun Gong saw that she still looked like she had nothing to do with herself, her eyes were red, and she was even more angry, "Since there is a way to save the life of Miss Jing, how can you just stand by and watch her die in vain, or even die in front of you?" ”

Ruoxin glanced at her lightly, and said slowly: "There is a way to save her, but if I save her, I will live a few years." ”

Yun Luo's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "It's just a few years of short life, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, if I have the ability to save people, I am willing to do it in ten or twenty years." ”

That's because she's still young, a few years isn't a long time for anyone else, but she only has a few years left to live.

"White Girl." Fenghua, who had been silent, finally spoke, her voice was still hoarse, but Qingyuan's tone seemed to return to the arrogant and extremely elegant son she saw for the first time.

Ruoxin turned her head to look at him, and saw that his gray eyes seemed to be whirlpools, as if the rhyme was calm with boundless loneliness and sadness.

Staring at such a gaze made her heart feel painful, and she couldn't extricate herself even more.

That look like Master's.

General looks......

There was silence for a long time, and in the end, Fenghua said in a low voice: "White girl, please help save Jingnu's life." If you can rescue Jingnu, Fenghua is willing to promise Ruoxin anything to Miss Ruoxin. ”

Ruoxin didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

Fenghua gradually clenched his fists, and in the end, he actually lifted his robe and knelt in front of her.

"Childe." Tsing Yi and Yun Gong all exclaimed.

The man has gold under his knees, and he is willing to kneel down to her for a woman, and only beg her to reduce her life to save the woman's life.

Fenghua looked at her deeply and said slowly: "White girl, if you are willing to save Jingnu, Fenghua is willing to follow Miss Bai forever and never regret it......."

finally waited for the company of the person she wanted, and never regretted it, but in this situation.

Ruoxin took a few deep breaths, pressed down the indescribable suffocation in her chest, and slowly raised her smile.

I see, is that so?
