As the sun passed, the sun turned westward, the residual heat on the street dissipated, and the wind blew and gradually became a little cooler.

In a quiet alley on the bustling West Street, a person walked slowly, slowly stepping on the bluestone-paved path, silently.

She holds a plain white oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and the surface of the umbrella is depicted with an elegant and fragrant lotus, which is no different from an ordinary oil-paper umbrella, but the handle of the umbrella she holds in her hand is pitch black, with many subtle and complex lines on it, as if it is a spell drawn.

The winter sun is warm on the body, and there are many idle women and children at the corner of the street who have nothing to do to move chairs to bask in the sun and chat about trivial matters, at this time it feels a little strange to see a person walking on the street with an umbrella, and glance at her from time to time, but she continues to walk slowly as if she is unconscious.

Under the oil-paper umbrella, a gray cloak enveloped her figure, and the brim of the hat hung low, covering most of her face.

The breeze blew slightly, lifting a corner of the robe under the gray cloak, the red clothes were scarlet, which was the color of joy, but at this time it brought people a strange feeling, even in the daytime, walking beside her There was a chill rising from the depths of the spine, which made people feel frightened for no reason, and she retreated a few feet.

She didn't pay attention to the reactions of the people around her, but slowly walked to a pharmacy and walked in.

There was a middle-aged man in the pharmacy who was sorting out the herbs in the medicine cabinet, and she called softly, "Doctor." ”

The middle-aged doctor answered, turned around to look at the visitor, and saw that she was wearing a cloak tightly wrapped from beginning to end, although he was stunned, he was not too surprised, after all, many women who have not left the cabinet are mostly dressed like this when they go out.

The woman took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and put it on the table, and said, "Doctor, grab five patches of medicine for me according to this prescription." ”

Her voice was warm and gentle, like a spring day and the wind in such a winter day, and the middle-aged doctor was thinking about what a woman with such a voice looked like, but he was startled when he saw her left hand with the cuff exposed. The hand was as thin as bone, white without a trace of blood, and wore a silver ring on his wrist, between which were seven diamond-shaped letter stones.

For the first time, the middle-aged doctor was slightly surprised when he saw someone make an accessory from a highly poisonous thing like Heding Red and wear it on his body.

However, the world is so big that there are no surprises, and the middle-aged doctor was not surprised for too long to refocus his attention on the prescription in his hand.

Holding the prescription, the middle-aged doctor turned around and went to the medicine cabinet to take the medicine one by one, only to notice that although most of the herbs written on the prescription are usually herbs, they are all cold, and there are also a few poisonous Chinese medicines such as mercury and realgar.

"Girl, who gave you this recipe? Although it does have the effect of clearing heat and dissipating fire, the medicinal properties are too strong, too much, and eating too much is extremely damaging to the body. The middle-aged doctor said as he took the medicine, and glanced back at her, "Especially this mercury and realgar are very poisonous things...... The girl needs to be cautious with her medication. ”

"It's okay, the doctor just arrests it." After calculating the money for the medicine and putting it on the table, with a faint smile, the woman replied.

The middle-aged doctor saw that her tone was as usual, so he had to take the medicine according to her prescription. Finally, a few packets of medicinal string were knotted and handed to the woman, and when he handed over to her, the middle-aged doctor shivered for no reason.

After taking the medicine, the woman walked to the door, stretched out the plain oily paper umbrella with a black umbrella handle and slowly walked away.

Seeing the back of the woman leaving, the middle-aged doctor seemed to see a faint layer of black gas lingering around the woman, which made people a little creepy. The middle-aged doctor thought it was his own dazzle, blinked, and when he looked again, the woman had already left his sight.

......

With the medicine in her hand, Ruoxin walked in the direction of West Street. Halfway through the journey, she suddenly heard a loud shout from behind her, "Dead woman—"

With great surprise and excitement in her arrogant and familiar voice, Ruoxin stopped slightly, looked sideways, and saw a man in a gorgeous brocade robe hurrying over from a distance. It's Guan Sedum who hasn't been seen for a long time. He looked in her direction and ran wildly without hesitation.

Ruoxin looked at him and found that he seemed to be suffering from a serious illness, his handsome face was a little sallow, and the robes that originally fit seemed to be a little wider. It's just that the dark eyes are still shining, as if shining on the bright lights of two candles, scorching brightly.

He strode at a loud pace, getting closer and closer, and finally passed past her.

Ruoxin slowly turned around and looked forward in the direction he was running. I saw a carriage parked not far away, and there were two familiar faces standing next to the carriage, one was the great elder of Baijia Village, and the other was her in the past, and now Bai Ruoyin.

Bai Ruo is simple and flawless because of her white skirt, and her long hair is untied, draped behind her back like a cloud waterfall. The expression on her face was cold and indifferent, like a clear cold spring bubbling quietly on the Tianshan Mountains, with a natural temperament of charm. The Great Elder stood respectfully beside the carriage, his back slightly bent, his expression was solemn, and he looked very respectful when Bai Ruoyin lifted the curtain of the carriage, but it was very different from when he faced her in the past.

Bai Ruoyin lifted her skirt slightly and was about to get into the carriage. Guan Jingtian had already run in front of her out of breath, blocking Bai Ruoyin's way. He didn't have time to catch his breath, so he hurriedly asked, "Where do you live?" ”

Quietly glanced at Guan Jingtian and recognized the person, Bai Ruoyin replied in a calm tone: "Baijia Village, East Ten Miles of Wanchun County." ”

"White-home-village." Guan Jingtian silently recited it word by word, remembering it in his heart, and then raised his head, staring at Bai Ruoyin with a complicated expression, a little angry and a little happy, but he still said loudly in a hard tone: "Hmph, where did you run away from this dead woman, do you know how long Young Master Ben has been looking for you?" ”

Feeling that his tone was a little urgent, Guan Jingtian raised his hand and coughed, "What does Young Master Ben mean, what kind of herbs did I help you pick that day, and caused Young Master Ben to be bitten by a snake, it's all because of you, and as a result, you left Young Master Ben alone after using Young Master Ben?" The sage said that the grace of the drop of water should be repaid with spring water, how can you be a person who is grateful for the picture? ”

Ruoxin felt a little funny when she heard Guan Dashao's unclear and upside-down words. If it was in the past, she would have deliberately tricked this serious young master, but now, the situation has changed......

Bai Ruoyin looked at Guan Jingtian, who was a little emotional in front of him, but he was forced to suppress himself, pretending to be calm, the expression on his face did not change much, and he did not have the slightest impatience, until Guan Jingtian finished what he was going to say, and then said flatly, "I'm not the person you're looking for." ”

After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage.

Hearing Bai Ruoyin's cold words, Guan Jingtian was stunned for a moment, and his hot heart seemed to be suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, and his excitement and joy when he saw her also sank a little. ”

He grabbed Bai Ruoyin's sleeve tightly with one hand, pointed to her face with the other and said, "You have a small mole on your left earlobe, the tail of your right eyebrow is lighter than the left, and your hair, other women have black and beautiful hair, who would have such a strange color of hair like you?" Black is not black and gray is not gray. Guan Jingtian's eyes were red, he had been looking for her for two months, and because she had a serious illness, now the two finally met again, but she pretended not to recognize him?

Guan Jingtian endured his grievances and anger, stared at Bai Ruoyin with an indifferent face, and said rudely: "Where did Young Master Ben make you angry again?" Why did you suddenly become like this? ”

Feeling Ruoxin's gaze not far away, Bai Ruoyin slowly raised her eyes to look at her.
