Chapter 144: Value and Worthlessness (High Energy, 7,000 Words)

Just after noon, Bai Yueling hurriedly ran home, and before she entered the hall, she shouted from afar: "Dad, I have found a way to save the whole town!" ”

Before the people in the hall left, Bai Xu almost fell off the chair when he heard this, he staggered to his feet, caught up, and asked urgently: "What way, can it be effective?" ”

Not only Bai Xu, but even the father and daughter of the Zhou family also stood up one after another, their eyes showing excitement, only that Zhou Yuan still looked like he had not returned to his senses, sitting next to him, confused.

Bai Yueling took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, then pointed to the door and said loudly: "I heard Brother Li call just now, and I know that there is a golden blood on his body, and even more than thirty people with leukemia can be cured!" ”

Everyone's faces froze, and Bai Xu hesitated: "Golden blood...... Even a terminal disease like leukemia can be cured, which ...... That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”

Bai Yueling said excitedly: "No, this must be true!" The woman who talked to him on the phone was very sure and cautious, for fear that others would listen to her...... And Brother Li is also very sincere, is it necessary to act to deceive me? ”

Bai Xu glanced at the door and found that Li Changjing was sitting in the corridor outside the door, with his back to the hall, Bai Yueling obviously said very loudly, he must have heard it, but he was indifferent, neither denied it nor refuted, as if there was something unspeakable.

Bai Xu immediately made up his mind seven or eight points, no wonder, the golden blood that can cure terminal illnesses must be very precious, Li Changjing did not take it out privately, it is understandable, Bai Xu understands it very much.

"Little brother Changjing, I don't know what Xiaoling said, is it true?" Bai Xu came to the door with the others and said to Li Changjing: "If it is true, please save the lives of the townspeople, I beg you here." Bai Xu hesitated, fell to his knees with a thud, and actually kowtowed to Li Changjing.

"Daddy!" Bai Yueling exclaimed, Bai Xu, as the patriarch, knelt down to an outsider, this is a thing that is detrimental to dignity, if it is spread out, in front of the clansmen in the future, where will there be half face?

Thinking of this, Bai Yueling couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment towards Li Changjing in her heart, glaring at him fiercely, what kind of coldness is she pretending? With the magic medicine that can save people, but he has not taken it out, selfish, more than a hundred lives in the town are waiting, and for two days, he can't remove the toxins from his body, but he can't save it!

If the townspeople died, Li Changjing would be the culprit who killed them! Bai Yueling thought so in her heart.

Zhou Shitian coughed violently a few times and persuaded Bai Xu: "Bai Xuxian's nephew, as the patriarch, how can you kneel down to outsiders?" Hurry up, don't lower your status. ”

Bai Xu shook his head and said, "Compared with the more than 100 lives of the townspeople, what is my personal humiliation?" As long as I can save people, I am willing to die. ”

Bai Yueling pulled her father a few times, but she didn't pull it up, she was so anxious that she couldn't help but stomp her feet and said loudly: "Li Changjing, why are you like this, do you agree, can you give a sentence accurately, my father is so sick, and the wind is strong at the door, do you have to let him suffer here!" ”

Xu Huairou, who was watching the play next to him, sneered and sneered: "Obviously begging others, but still looking domineering, do people owe you?" ”

"You!" Bai Yueling pointed at her, her face was ashamed and angry, she gritted her teeth and thought about it, she still didn't plan to argue with this woman, anyway, she relied on the wealth and power of her family, and it was not a day or two that she was domineering, and she Bai Yueling had never taken advantage of her.

At this time, Li Changjing, who was sitting outside, finally stood up. His face was calm, he walked up to help Bai Xu, and said softly: "Patriarch Bai, you are not in good health, you should go to the house, it is windy outside." ”

Bai Xu said excitedly: "Then you mean, you are willing to save people?" ”

Li Changjing was silent for a few seconds, and then replied, "I want to go out for a walk." ”

"This ......" Bai Xu's brows furrowed, and his face was a little displeased.

But Li Changjing no longer paid attention to him, turned around and left directly.

Zhou Yuan laughed gloating behind him, "Pretending to be a ghost, acting as if you are a master, Xiaoling, why do you like this kind of person?" ”

Bai Yueling's face turned red, she looked at Li Changjing's departing back, her heart felt like a small thorn had been inserted, which made her very uncomfortable, it was Liu Hui before, and now it is Li Changjing, is there really a problem with her vision, and she will always look at the wrong person?

Lu Li, who had not spoken, said goodbye to everyone and followed in the direction where Li Changjing left.

Bai Yueling thought about it, after all, this was a major matter related to the lives of the people in the town, even if she was uncomfortable, she had to endure it, so she followed closely and said that she would ask Li Changjing again what he meant.

————

In the afternoon, the town is deserted.

Li Changjing was alone, slowly walking in the streets and alleys of the town.

In fact, it didn't take long to come here, only three or four days, but Li Changjing felt that it was as long as a century.

He looked up at the sky, it was a little gloomy, and the air pressure was very low, which made people feel stuffy.

In mid-February, there were already signs of early spring, and a few old trees outside the town with bare branches had sprouted new green shoots; In the distance, the edge of the ridge, the wild grass is lush and green, and the field that slopes upwards in the distance is full of unknown flowers of five colors, colorful and dreamlike.

The town sits right in the middle of a large wreath.

If it weren't for so many things happening in the town, Li Changjing would have felt that the scenery of Wucai Town was actually very beautiful and a good place for sightseeing.

Li Changjing continued to walk forward, taking out his mobile phone from time to time to take a look, but unfortunately the signal has always been poor. He actually wanted to call back to Daye City...... Smell Liu Qingtan's opinion.

At this time, in the dilapidated brick house in front of him, in the narrow courtyard, there was a cry of pain.

Li Changjing stepped forward, and through the low courtyard wall, he found two seven or eight-year-old children in the courtyard, a boy and a woman, wearing sewn clothes, the girl was rolling on the ground in pain, and the boy was so anxious that he was at a loss, and his face was full of tears.

Seeing Li Changjing walk into the courtyard, the boy looked a little scared, stood in front of the girl, looked at the stranger vigilantly, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Who are you? ”

Li Changjing observed carefully and found that the two children had very bad faces, black and blue, and purple lips, which seemed to be the cause of the miasma poison.

"What about you, who are you?" Li Changjing pointed to a house far away outside and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Bai family, but this girl is from the Zhou family...... What are you doing here? ”

The boy looked down at the little girl who was moaning in pain, wiped his tears, and said in a childish voice: "It's all like this, what is the Bai family and the Zhou family." Xiaomei's grandmother was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, and she had to take care of her grandmother, so I came over to help cook......"

Li Changjing squatted down and asked curiously, "You have a good relationship with Xiaomei, do you like her?" ”

The little boy's face turned red, and he said incoherently, "You...... Don't talk nonsense, I don't have ...... I don't, I'm just better with Xiaomei......"

Li Changjing smiled, looked at the upper room, and found that in the room with only one wooden bed, there was an old lady who was nearly seventy years old, but because of her poor resistance, she had fallen into a coma after being poisoned, and her condition was extremely bad.

Li Changjing thought about it, stepped forward, and helped the painful little girl up, the boy's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "What do you want to do to Xiaomei!" ”

Li Changjing rolled his eyes and pouted: "It's so tight, don't you like her?" ”

The little boy immediately blushed again, and seeing that Li Changjing didn't seem to have malicious intent, he let down his guard a little and stood next to him and watched nervously.

Li Changjing grabbed Xiaomei's shoulders with both hands, so that she couldn't twist anymore, and with a thought, the fire in her body turned into a wisp of hot air, which entered Xiaomei's body from his hands.

The next moment, Xiaomei's whole body became hot, her skin was red, sweat was pouring down on her forehead, and her little face was distorted, which was very painful.

The boy was frightened, and he was sure that Li Changjing was a bad person, and he picked up a flat pole from the house and was about to come up and knock him.

Li Changjing couldn't be distracted for the time being, his face turned grim, and he shouted to the boy: "If you don't want her to die, just stand there honestly!" ”

The voice was deafening, and the expression was fierce, which really frightened the boy to freeze in place.

"Poof......

Without warning, the girl named Xiaomei spit out a large mouthful of black and fishy stuff and fell softly into Li Changjing's arms.

"Xiaomei!" The boy shouted and rushed up, and found that Xiaomei looked peaceful, and the painful appearance just now was gone, and the two shallow eyebrows were soothing, as if she had fallen asleep.

The boy sat on the ground, relieved. It's just that he quickly got up again, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Li Changjing, and shouted "Engong" in his mouth.

Li Changjing laughed dumbly, grabbed the boy's back collar, threw it to the side, and asked him to sit back on the ground.

"Your Bai family is really interesting, you like to kneel at every turn." Li Changjing clapped his hands and asked casually, "What's your name?" ”

The boy scratched his head, looking embarrassed, "I...... My name is Bai Liang. ”

Li Changjing snorted and continued to ask, "What about your parents?" ”

Bai Liang thought for a moment before he said, "I heard from the people in the town that they died. I went to work outside and had a car accident. ”

"You don't want them?"

Bai Liang shook his head, "I was still young at the time, and I can't remember what they looked like, so I don't think much about it." ”

"Didn't the adults of the Bai family tell you that you can't interact with the people of the Zhou family?"

Bai Liang said blankly: "No...... The children of our two families play together, and the adults never care. There were also people who wanted to manage it before, but they were bumped into by Brother Bai Baihua, and they were furious, saying that the hatred of the older generation should not be carried over to the next generation. Bai Liang scratched his head, "I don't understand it anyway." However, the relationship between our Bai family and the adults of the Zhou family is very poor, this is true, and I don't know when we will be able to meet without quarreling. ”

Li Changjing smiled and suddenly asked, "What would you do if Xiaomei died?" ”

"What can I do?" Bai Liang blurted out: "I must be sad to death, so sad that I have to wake up crying at night." ”

"You talk nonsense, you won't cry!"

Xiaomei, who had been listening secretly, opened her eyes, stood up, and said angrily in a crisp voice: "You always love to bully me, you hate it to death, maybe you won't shed a tear when I die!" ”

Bai Liang immediately crossed his waist, held his head high, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "What are you bullying you, little girl." ”

"Look, I'll just say it." Xiaomei wrinkled her face, cried all of a sudden, and said timidly: "It's all a lie to say that you will wake up crying." ”

Bai Liang saw that she had recovered her spirits, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface, she still didn't admit defeat, so she didn't look away and let her cry.

Li Changjing suddenly leaned over and said to Xiaomei: "Then does he usually bully other girls?" ”

Xiaomei stopped crying, recalled it carefully, shook her head and said, "No, he bullied me, he was very good with other girls, and he hated it to death." ”

Li Changjing smiled: "He only bullied you, which means that you are more special, and he cares about you very much." ”

Xiaomei wiped her tears, stared at Bai Liang, and said suspiciously: "Really? ”

Li Changjing asked softly: "When you usually play at home, it is Bai Liang's turn to be the groom's official, which girl does he like to call to be his bride?" ”

Xiaomei blinked, "I, he's always asked me to be his bride." ”

"Talent...... Not at all! Bai Liang said angrily: "I don't want to marry her when I grow up, crybaby, crying every day, annoyed to death!" ”

Xiaomei also snorted and said, "I don't want to marry you, bully me every day, hum!" ”

Bai Liang's face turned red, as if he was really angry, and walked out angrily, "If you don't marry, you won't marry, I won't talk to you!" ”

Xiaomei chased out of the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Bai Liang, you stop." ”

Bai Liang turned around, "What are you doing?" ”

Xiaomei pointed to the house, "My grandmother is not well yet, don't you help me cook?" ”

Bai Liang hesitated for a moment, but had to walk back again.

Xiaomei grabbed his hand and whispered in his ear: "I lied to you just now, I will be your bride in the future, don't be angry." ”

Bai Liang immediately smiled, and said happily: "As long as you don't deceive people, then I'll ...... Then I won't bully you in the future. ”

"Pull the hook!" Mei held out her little thumb.

"Retractor." Bai Liang also stretched out his little thumb.

Two ignorant and sick children, their two little hands shook each other, and said in unison: "Hook hanging, a hundred years, not allowed to change." ”

"Cook!" Bai Liang took Xiaomei's hand and ran into the house, and the two came to the door, put their feet together, shouted "one, two, three", and jumped over the threshold at once.

Xiaomei lost and was a little discouraged, and Bai Liang jumped farther, becoming more energetic, raising his head and chest, and not forgetting to make a grimace at Li Changjing.

Li Changjing smiled dumbly.

All the way away, the pace is unhurried.

From time to time, from the houses on both sides of the street, there will be some painful moans, or the sound of insults and cries.

Li Changjing's ears were sharp, and he found that there were all kinds of voices, some of them were scolding God for being unfair, scolding those few strangers who released poison gas for being vicious, lamenting their miserable fate, and scolding Li Changjing and Lu Li for being gods and sticks that could not be cured of poison at all.

Of course, there are also some who comfort each other, cheer each other up, encourage each other, and hope to get through the difficulties.

There are even some adults, even if they are weak, they are still comforting their children and reassuring them that they will just have a stomachache for a while, and they will get better in a few days, eat more and go to bed early.

Li Changjing was silent, walked silently, and unknowingly, came to the central street. He looked at an empty fruit stand on his left, stunned. It seems that on the day I first came, the sky-high asking price of the proprietress with a very bad attitude is still vivid.

I don't know when, Lu Li came to his side, but he didn't speak, standing side by side with him.

A few minutes later, Bai Yueling also came, she had a cold face, and shouted at Li Changjing: "What do you want, do you have to kneel down and beg you before you are willing to save people?" ”

Lu Li frowned, and persuaded: "Miss Xiaoling, don't be like this, Brother Li may have something unspeakable......

"What is there to hide, and I don't want his life!" Bai Yueling said angrily: "I heard the woman on the phone say that he used golden blood to save more than 30 people suffering from leukemia before, can this still be fake?" ”

"I know, maybe that golden blood is very precious, and he is very reluctant, but we can buy it." Bai Yueling slowed down her tone and said, "I have so many scorpion stones in my house, as long as you want, I can give you as much as you want, isn't that enough?" ”

"If it's precious, how can it be measured by money." Lu Li frowned and said: "Brother Li is by no means a selfish person, the reason why he is like this must be his troubles." ”

"That's right, his personality is just for a Ruan family who I don't know, fight unevenly, and for a big snake, to block some thunder!" The corners of Bai Yueling's mouth on both sides were pressed down, her nose was sour, tears were falling down, she cried and said, "Isn't it because I used to laugh at you for being a little white face, and my brother tricked you into coming here without your consent, you can't let go of it!" ”

"But no matter how much you blame us, the townspeople are innocent, and that's a hundred lives! Can you bear to watch them die in agony? Bai Yueling yelled: "Li Changjing! Even if you still have a little humanity, you should save them! ”

"Say no more!" Lu Li couldn't listen to it anymore, and said angrily: "You are a moral kidnapping!" Since you can't trust Brother Li's character, why do you come to him? He helped your Bai family kill the heavenly toad and eliminate the hidden danger of miasma under the cave, and I didn't see you have a word of thanks. ”

Bai Yueling stumbled for a moment, and said with a sad smile: "What's the use of eliminating hidden dangers, everyone is going to die, and if you put the gold and silver mountains in front of you, you can't save them." ”

"You're unreasonable." Lu Li sighed.

Li Changjing looked up at the sky and found that the dark clouds had dispersed a lot, and the long-lost sunlight finally poked its head out of the clouds.

"Xiaoling, come and sit." Li Chang casually found a place to sit down, patted the side, and finally spoke.

Bai Yueling wiped her tears and walked over to sit next to Li Changjing, but she was still unhappy, her face was gone, and she looked very angry.

Li Changjing didn't care either, and waited until Lu Li also sat down before he said: "Don't think about it, you kept calling me a little white face before, but I didn't really take it to heart, let alone care about it anymore." The reason why Big Brother Bai tricked us here was just in case, because Brother Lu and I knew how to make alchemy, and Brother Lu was still a doctor, and he was worried that those outsiders would turn the poison gas threat into reality...... Now it seems that he still has a long-term vision, but he never expected that he would become a prophecy. ”

Bai Yueling raised her head, looked at his side face, and hesitated: "That...... Then why don't you save people? ”

Li Changjing smiled and replied, "I'll tell you a story." ”

"A long time ago, there was a famine in a poor village in the north, and most of the villagers starved to death. That day, a fisherman surnamed Chen finally caught a fish in the river, and he boiled the fish into a pot of soup, and was about to drink it, when suddenly a depressed scholar passed by in front of the door with his young wife and infant child. When the fisherman saw that they were hungry and dying of hunger, he was moved by compassion, so he gave the fish soup to the family of three. ”

"The scholar's family of three managed to survive after eating fish soup, but the fisherman himself starved to death."

"Later, the scholar went to Beijing to catch the exam, won the title of the gold list, won the champion, and since then he has been on the rise, rich and glorious, and enjoying inexhaustible."

It's a pity that the scholar seems to have forgotten the pot of fish soup back then, and forgot the kind fisherman, not only never mentioned it to others, but also didn't even go back to erect a simple tombstone for the fisherman. After arriving, the scholar's official became bigger and bigger, but there were great changes in the family, first of all, his son, relying on his official authority, made a fortune, committed a lot of murders, and was finally investigated by the court and beheaded to show the public. ”

"You deserve it!" Bai Yueling said viciously.

Li Changjing smiled and continued: "The second is the scholar's wife, because she did not abide by women's morals and fornicated with other men, she was discovered, and as a result, she was thrown into the lake and soaked in a pig cage. ”

"Although the punishment is a bit heavy...... But you still deserve it! Bai Yueling looked indignant.

Li Changjing sighed, "The scholar was implicated by his wife and children, his reputation was extremely bad, he was scolded by 10,000 people, and the court was forced to dismiss him under pressure. ”

After Lu Li listened, he nodded thoughtfully.

Bai Yueling's face changed for a while, and she frowned: "The reason why you tell this story is to tell me that you must know how to be grateful, otherwise you will be punished by God like that scholar?" ”

"Why do you bother to beat around the bush like this, just say no." Bai Yueling muttered, "As long as you save the townspeople, we will definitely be grateful to you and will never forget you." ”

Li Changjing shook his head, "You're wrong. What I want to say is that if I were that fisherman, I would definitely not save the scholar's family of three, because it was not worth it. ”

Bai Yueling nodded, "It's really not worth saving." ”

"All along, I helped or saved people, and never cared about the reward or reputation." Li Changjing said softly: "I only see that the bottom value is not worth it." ”

"Colorful Town is a good place, there are good people and not so good people, but there are good people after all." Li Changjing thought of the pair of children he had just met, and his smile was warm.

"Brother Lu, you told me before that the purest and most yin Tianchan Crisp, plus the same pure and yang materials, can be refined into a Changsheng Pill, is it true?"

Lu Li didn't know why Li Changjing asked like this, so he nodded subconsciously, "That's right, I know how to refine the Immortal Pill, although it will take a little effort, but it is not very difficult." ”

Li Changjing snorted, "I don't know if the Immortal Pill can be used for patients with necrosis of brain tissue...... That is, a vegetative person, to help? ”

Lu Li thought for a moment and replied: "The Immortal Pill heals injuries and prolongs life, if the vegetative person is in a vegetative state due to trauma that causes brain tissue necrosis, it should be no problem." For some patients who are too old, the brain tissue is naturally weakened, and the effect is not great. ”

Li Changjing nodded and said to Lu Li, "Brother Lu, come with me." ”

Lu Li didn't know why, but he could only follow him.

Bai Yueling thought that Li Changjing wanted to ask Lu Li for the refining method of the Immortal Pill, so she didn't care. It's just that she waited for a while, and found that Lu Li suddenly became excited, grabbed Li Changjing's shoulder and said loudly: "Brother Li, this must not be, absolutely not!" ”

Bai Yueling realized that something was wrong, so she walked up to ask what was going on, but saw Li Changjing take out two white porcelain bottles from his arms, put them in Lu Li's hands, and said with a smile: "One drop of blood, please help me refine an immortal pill and send it to the evergreen store in the center of Furong in Daye City." Another drop of blood, which could be combined with the car's medicinal herbs, could be refined into a soup and fed to the people of the town, which could completely remove the miasma poison in their bodies. ”

Li Changjing was stunned and muttered to himself: "If one Li Changjing dies, there should be a second or third Li Changjing, right?" ”

He traveled thousands of miles, and all kinds of images and all kinds of faces kept coming to his mind.

Like the carpenter child named Zhou Xiaobin in the town.

More than 30 patients in the Cheng family were pregnant with leukemia.

In the pouring rain, the figure of Miaoman wrapped three snake scales in a handkerchief and placed it beside him.

and Colorful Town, those faces that are both familiar and unfamiliar......

There are also two immature children, Bai Liang and Xiaomei, whose little fingers are gently hooked together, and they shout, "Hook and hang, a hundred years, don't change." ”

Without warning, Li Changjing's figure was crooked and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Lu Li's eyes were red, and he grabbed the two porcelain bottles in his hand, and his whole body trembled.

Bai Yueling's face turned pale, bent down, and put her fingers under the young man's nose.

There was no breath at all.
