Chapter 2: Ill-fated
At night, Li Lingao sat on a chair in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, without any emotion on his face, his eyes were very cold, while Wang Ming was standing next to him to report things.
"Have you found it all out? Li Lin asked Wang Ming with a stern tone.
"After careful investigation, the sky changed suddenly, without a hint of warning. The dark clouds were mainly concentrated in the area of the City Lord's Mansion, and also included the nine hundred and nineteen households near the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"Among the more than 900 families, one family surnamed Ye gave birth to a daughter, two families surnamed Xu gave birth to a son, and one family ......."
"Okay, let's talk about something out of the ordinary. Li Lin interrupted impatiently, this was not what he wanted to know.
"Nothing else is out of the ordinary, just ...... in the city"
Wang Ming was hesitant, his eyes flashed left and right, and his voice became quiet.
"Let's just say it, don't hide it. ”
"Recently, it has been rumored in the city that the young city lord is an ominous person, and God was angry when he was born, with dark clouds and thunder, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth. Also, Mrs. has always been in good health, but the child was killed as soon as she was born, which also shows a point. Wang Ming pondered his words, and looked at Li Lin's face with his eyes as he spoke.
"Presumptuous. Li Lin's face was pale, his palm was imprinted on the table, and a slight crack appeared on the table. "Go and investigate hard, find the rumor-mongers, and kill them directly. At the same time, the rumor-bearers were also arrested, put in prison, and waited for disposal, and ordered the rest of the people in the city not to spread the matter again, nor to discuss the matter. ”
"City Lord, I'm afraid this won't work, many people in the city are discussing this matter, and it's almost half. Wang Ming tried his best to prevent it, there were too many people involved in this matter, and arresting them all would cause a riot.
Li Lintie blushed and stood up gloomily. "Then it is strictly forbidden to talk about it again. Li Lin left angrily, he was very angry, but helpless. Half of the people in the city were the numbers he didn't dare to touch. Although Shicheng is located in a remote area, it is a large population city, there are about more than 100,000 people in the city, and half of the people are all arrested, I am afraid that it will immediately provoke a civil uprising, causing turmoil in the whole city, the consequences are too heavy for him to bear.
What is everything, Tian'er is just an ordinary child, why does he have to bear so much.
Li Lin came to the backyard, pushed open a door and walked in, a maid in her twenties was taking care of Li Tian.
"Xiaoqing, what's the sky. Li Lin looked at Li Tian, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight smile. Li Tian is now the treasure in his palm, this is his reverse scale, and he must be carefully cared for.
"If you go back to the city lord, the young city lord is all right, and the whole person is healthy, but it seems too quiet. The maid bowed and replied cautiously.
What does it mean to be too quiet? I wonder if it's bad for children not to make trouble?
"What's going on?"
The maid picked up the child in her arms and shook the child's body slightly.
"The young city lord basically didn't move, even if he was hungry, he just cried softly. ”
It's really weird, it's too quiet compared to ordinary children. Reaching out and touching the child's face, the spiritual sense carefully scanned the situation in Li Tian's body.
After a while, withdrawing his hand, Li Lin felt strange in his heart. Everything is fine and the body is healthy. It seems that it is too much to worry about.
I finally have a little comfort in my heart, Lan'er, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Tian'er and make him carefree.
Three months have passed, and during this time, Li Lin also found a nurse for Li Tian, went to see him every day, and guarded Li Tian whenever he had free time, and loved him very much.
At noon that day, Li Lin was dealing with the affairs of the city in the study, and there was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened, and Li Er rushed in with an anxious face, "City Lord, the young City Lord has an accident." ”
As soon as Li Lin heard this, where could he still sit down, he got up, and a few flashing people arrived in the backyard. Walking into the room, Li Tian was lying on the bed with a pale face, and his body was still trembling unconsciously.
Li Tian stretched out his hand and touched it, it was so cold. "What's going on. ”
The angry voice frightened several maids to kneel down quickly, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
"Everything is fine today, as usual, but at noon, the young city lord suddenly became like this. Xiao Qing replied to Li Lin with a shudder.
"Li Er, go find a doctor for me. ”
The voice spread far away, and the entire City Lord's Mansion heard it. Li Lin touched Li Tian's face, and a small trace of aura slowly entered Li Tian's body, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and he carefully investigated it a few times.
What could it be, what the hell is going on, it seems that the only way to do this is to wait until the doctor comes.
The wait was long, and Li Lin had never felt that waiting was such a painful thing. I don't know how long it took before Li Er came with the doctor.
"City Lord, this is the best Doctor Wang in the City Lord's medical skills. Li Er pointed to an old man with gray hair and introduced, and the old man stepped forward and saluted.
"Alright, let's see what's going on with my son. Li Lin impatiently interrupted Dr. Wang's salute and pulled him to the bedside. Dr. Wang put his hands together and examined them carefully. Li Lin stood behind him, he didn't dare to breathe, and his eyes looked at Doctor Wang tightly.
Sweat dripped down after a long time before Dr. Wang withdrew his hand. His eyes were full of helplessness, he had no way to cure this disease, he had no ability to cure it.
"City Lord, the young city lord is a disease caused by congenital deficiency, weak qi and blood, and born with defects, this disease is old and decayed..."Doctor Wang looked at Li Lin with his eyes, seeing that his face was full of nervousness, he kept staring at himself, gritting his teeth, "There is nothing to be done, and judging from the situation, I am afraid that the young city lord will not be able to survive tonight." ”
Li Lin didn't say a word, pulled his face, looked at Doctor Wang, and then looked at Li Tian. After a long time, he waved his hand, and a weak voice sounded, "Go down." ”
Doctor Wang bowed, hey, sighed and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord, we can put up a notice, although Doctor Wang's medical skills are good. But since the last vision of heaven and earth, many people have come to the city recently, and if there are masters in the city passing by occasionally, they are willing to heal the young city lord. ”
Looking at this scene, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Li Er made a good suggestion.
"Yes, yes, you do it right away. Li Lin's eyes lit up, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw. Li Lin looked at Li Tian, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes about to flow down, "Tian'er, why is your life so bitter." ”
Li Er's work efficiency was very fast, and the notices were soon posted on the busy streets of the city, and people were talking about it.
"Look, I'll just say that this kid is an ominous person, who killed his own mother, and provoked God to anger, and now it's his turn again. ”
"Oh, poor, what a fate. ”
"Congenital insufficiency, this is God's will. ”
"This disease is too difficult, what to treat birth defects. ”
.........
Under the notice, many people were discussing, some were discussing the condition, some lamented the child's misery, and some thought it was providence.
Not far away, in a restaurant, two people are drinking, sitting by the window, dressed in white, with a face like a crown of jade, bright eyes, a black hair tied up, dressed as a Taoist. The other person was dressed as a son, with a bookish face on his face, gentle and elegant, with a cyan robe fluttering on his body, and a jade pendant hanging from a cyan belt around his waist.
The Taoist put down his wine glass and said slowly. "It's been a few months, maybe that day's vision of heaven and earth was an accident, and we should go. ”
"Accidentally, maybe. You have also heard the following notice, congenital deficiency is counted, but people with birth defects are very rare. Unintentionally, do you want to take a look, maybe that child is the one who caused the vision of heaven and earth. Childe's voice sounded, and he talked peacefully without a trace of fluctuation.
"It's okay, meeting is fate, maybe there is fate, it's good to go and see. I don't know, the loveless son is interested in accompanying me to have a look. Wuxin put down the wine glass, tapped his fingers on the tabletop, looked at the city lord's mansion with his eyes, and said word by word.
"Then let's take a look, this son is also a little curious about this congenital deficiency and born with defects. Forgetfulness gently shook the wine glass, slowly drank the wine in the glass, put down the money, the figure became blurred, and slowly disappeared, and the unintentional figure on the opposite side had already disappeared.
In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, standing unintentionally and forgetfully, the guards at the door saw two people suddenly appear out of thin air at the door, and they knew that it was the senior master, and respectfully stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter with the senior." ”
"Ask your city lord to come out, and we can cure your young city lord's illness. Forgetful loudly, he called the guards in to call people, and looked at Wuxin again.
"Do you feel something, it is said that the center of the vision that day was the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, so there are rumors that the young city lord is an ominous person. ”
Wuxin shook his head and didn't say anything, just silently looked at the City Lord's Mansion and stood quietly. It was boring to forget his feelings, and he didn't speak anymore, so he stood and waited for the lord of the city to come out to greet him.
