Chapter 68: A Brush with Death
The torches fell on the pile, and the pile of wood was drenched with fire oil all around, and it was lit with a breath.
Zhu Yuan was surrounded by flames, and waves of heat rushed towards her in waves.
It is false to say that he is not afraid, and Zhu Yuan does not want to lose his life in vain.
However, in this situation, she either entered the space and disappeared in front of everyone, or put some water from the space to extinguish the fire.
Both methods, which will expose her as an unusual person, will also add more evidence to the title of "demon girl" in the mouth of the county lord of Xiangyang.
Zhu Yuan was sweating from the heat, but her heart was cold.
It turns out that in this world that treats human life like a mustard, when there is no strong enough backer and power, everything must be cautious and not arbitrary.
Through the fiery red flames, his misty eyes saw Father Zhu, who was still unconscious, struggling to save his handsome son, Gu Qingjiu.
Lord Wang, Bai Bei......
Da Da Da ......
The sound of horses' hooves was heard in a hurry, and the crowd of onlookers looked in the direction from which the sound came out, and saw someone rushing towards them on horseback as if they were dying.
Some people exclaimed and avoided it.
The tall horse rushed into the crowd, and a small figure jumped up from the horse and landed on the wooden pile, and then the small figure jumped down with Zhu Yuan, who was weak.
Gu Qingjiu recognized the person, his anxious expression relaxed, and he hurriedly helped the junior brother who couldn't measure his shoulders to support Zhu Yuan.
This little boy is the little disciple of the divine doctor that the lord of Xiangyang County saw when he went to invite King Rui for King Rui.
"Phew~"
Here Zhu Yuan has been saved, and the tall horse rushed straight towards the county lord of Xiangyang, and in front of her will be strangled by the reins.
The county lord of Xiangyang sat down on the ground in fright by the raised hooves of the horse, his face was panicked, and he didn't even have time to react when Zhu Yuan was rescued.
The healer with the hat immediately took the reins, reached out to help the crooked hat, and galloped all the way, almost breaking his old bones.
"Hehe, the county lord is so majestic, even the old man's life-saving benefactor can be burned to death at will, it seems that the old man will have to stay away from the palace in the future, otherwise the county lord will be unhappy and even the old man will be burned together."
The old man said with a smile, looking indifferent, but the words he said made the county lord of Xiangyang frightened.
The imperial grandmother has been relying on the pills of the divine doctor to alleviate her head disease, if the divine doctor no longer provides the pills, then the imperial grandmother still has the energy to protect her?
"No, Xiangyang doesn't dare, don't worry about the miracle doctor."
The county lord of Xiangyang staggered up under Lan Ruo's support, and said with a dry smile.
"That's it, I wish the girl is definitely not a demon, I will use my entire Divine Medicine Valley as a guarantee, if Your Majesty asks, the old man will go back in person."
The divine doctor said that, and without looking back, he beckoned his disciples to take Zhu Yuan and Zhu Father away.
In this way, with the departure of Zhu Yuan and his party, the sensational thing ended in a bland way.
Xiangyang almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, and unwillingly clutched the silk handkerchief in his hand.
Almost, she almost got what she wanted!
"Let's go, go back to the palace!"
Flicked his sleeves, and left gloomily on the first floor of Xiangyang.
......
Zhu Yuan's eyelashes trembled, there was a faint fragrance of herbs between his breaths, he opened his eyes dimly, the entrance was a pale cyan bed curtain, and he turned his eyes to look at the furnishings in the house, simple but elegant atmosphere, a plate of orchids under the window lattice swayed gently with the breeze.
Before consciousness faded, she remembered that someone had saved her from the fire.
Just as Zhu Yuan was recalling what happened before he fell unconscious, the door was pushed open, and Gu Qingjiu was holding a tray, and there was a bowl of medicine and a bowl of porridge on the tray.
When Zhu Yuan saw that it was him, he immediately remembered his father, and was about to sit up excitedly:
"Where's my dad? He's fine, isn't he? Tell me he's okay! ”
Gu Qingjiu saw that she was so excited as soon as she woke up, and hurriedly walked over.
"I'm the eldest disciple of the divine doctor-Gu Qingjiu, don't get excited, drink the medicine first."
"Where's my dad? I'm going to find my dad! ”
Zhu Yuan saw that he avoided answering, thinking that his father was in a bad situation, so he was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed.
Gu Qingjiu hurriedly put down the tray, pressed her shoulder, and asked her to lie back.
"I wish Uncle is fine, and he will recover after a little time, and the girl doesn't have to worry."
Hearing that his father was fine, Zhu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and lay back quietly.
"The girl drank the medicine first, and added a little warm herbs to the porridge, the girl's body is empty, and her qi and blood are insufficient, so she might as well drink more."
Gu Qingjiu held the medicine bowl and said as he was about to feed Zhu Yuan to drink.
Zhu Yuan was a little awkward, although Gu Qingjiu was handsome and gentle, he treated her too gently.
Sensing Zhu Yuan's discomfort, Gu Qingjiu hooked the corners of his lips slightly, put the medicine bowl in Zhu Yuan's hand and said:
"Girl, drink it yourself, I'll call the master, he has something to say to you."
"Hmm."
Zhu Yuan held the medicine bowl, nodded slightly, and answered in a low voice.
The little one is very cute, like a frightened little beast.
Gu Qingjiu's gaze stayed on Zhu Yuan's body for a moment before walking out.
Suddenly, the divine doctor came in with his beard and looked at Zhu Yuandao:
"Little girl, how do you feel?"
"Grandpa Divine Doctor, I'm fine, and thank you for saving me and my father."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuan put down the medicine bowl in his hand and got up to kneel down for the divine doctor.
"Eh, the old man is just entrusted by others to be loyal, so there is no need to be so polite."
The divine doctor helped Zhu Yuan to sit down, and he went to the round stool next to him to sit down.
Originally, he was digging herbs in the mountain behind Anguo Temple, and listened to the old man's nagging for a long time, and then the little disciple came to look for him to save people, and he just went.
"Entrusted?"
Zhu Yuan thought for a moment and looked at the divine doctor with a puzzled expression.
She really couldn't think of anyone else who would help her, and she was still a person who could call for a miracle doctor.
"Hahaha, it's the god stick of Anguo Temple, you have to tell me that you have an extraordinary destiny and are destined to affect the fortunes of the country."
The miracle doctor was also dissatisfied and explained the reason.
Divine sticks? Destiny is extraordinary?
As soon as he said this, Zhu Yuan instantly remembered the abbot of Anguo Temple, and last time he said that he was a person from another world.
It seems that the abbot really has some magical powers.
"By the way, do you know a man named Zhang Chi? The wand told you to be careful with the people behind him. ”
Thinking of the matter, the divine doctor also straightened his face, although he didn't know if Zhu Yuan would really change the fortunes of the country, but he liked this little girl with a true temperament.
"Zhang Chi? Is there someone behind him? ”
Zhu Yuan was also stunned when he heard the words of the divine doctor, and muttered. In her impression, Zhang Chi is just a scoundrel and a sinister villain. But she never thought about whether the things Zhang Chi did were instructed by someone.
If someone instructs it, who will it be? She just wants to make her family's business bigger and better.
"Grandpa Divine Doctor, do you know who is behind him?"
"This ......"
"Wishing you well! Wishing you a round! ”
Zhu Yuan was intently waiting for the answer of the divine doctor grandfather, and at this moment, a familiar voice sounded outside.
