The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is deep, like a pure black ink ingot being ground by the cold moonlight, and slowly blending into a thick that cannot be dissolved. In the remote garden where the five fingers are not visible, there are thin and tall tree trunks planted obliquely, reflecting a touch of the miserable white moonlight of Qing Lingling, and the sparse and oblique branches and withered branches look very rugged and weird, like white bones that are horizontal and vertical.

At this time, the whole capital is like a lazy cat sleeping in winter. Suddenly, a dark shadow leaped in from outside the wall, like a pair of swift scissors, cutting a jagged moon shadow, and was thrown into the silent room by a gust of wind through the half-hidden window, and not even half of the dead leaves on the branches fell from the light work.

In the room, a room is silent, the medicinal fragrance is clustered, refreshing, the black shadow flashes through the middle hall, quietly groped into the bedroom, following the couch from a burst of even and peaceful breathing, step by step, every step is awe-inspiring, nine horses difficult to chase a thousand killing machines.

When the prosperous era is stable, the swordsmen of the rivers and lakes are old. At that time, few people in the rivers and lakes knew how fast this young sword that had frightened horse thieves and bandits in the desert was, because those who had seen it had already become a ghost under the sword. Few people know that this sword also has a gentle female name - White Feather Sword, the cold light is white, and the life is like a feather. But the man who wields the sword is swifter than the wind, because he knows that it is faster to die than to kill.

"Wow-"

The sharp edge of the white feather sword suddenly poured out from the sword box on the back of the man in black, holding the moon on the side, and slashed in the air, and the sword qi suddenly picked up a piece of soft medicinal fragrance on the woman's body, and slashed heavily at the neck of the sleeping woman on the couch. Suddenly—

Bell, bell, bell, bell, bell. Bell, bell.

Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, it would not affect the peaceful sleep of the woman on the couch at all, but once the bell rang outside the door, she would wake up and sit up from the couch as if she were instinctive.

"You are-" Jingmo saw a black-clothed man with closed eyes standing silently at the head of her bed, she was more daring, she felt that this person was very familiar, and after thinking about it, she suddenly realized, "Ah, you are the young man next to the half-faced red boy!" was in the restaurant that day, and it was really thanks to you that you knocked Xu Da unconscious. ”

Chang Ling put away his sword faster than he took out his sword, and at this time he had already put the sword behind him, but it was the first time he was recognized, he was at a loss for a while, and he was flustered, "Ah... I'm... I..."

"What are you doing here?" Although Jing Mo saw that he was an acquaintance, he was not so vigilant, and he couldn't help but be very curious, "Are you also coming to see a doctor?" ”

Chang Ling was afraid that all the clever energy of the thirteenth painting was used at this moment, he quickly put his hand behind his back, and quietly slashed over the blade of the sword, and then he spread out the bleeding palm, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I... I met a bad guy outside and got hurt, so I came to Kyo Yakushi. ”

Seeing this, Jingmo hurriedly found gauze and gold sore medicine, and at this time, the rattle outside the door became more and more urgent, Jingmo frowned slightly, but still patiently bandaged Changling's wound seriously, and asked, "Don't you know the rules for rattling into the garden?" ”

"Huh? I... I don't know..."Chang Ling scratched his head, and became worried for a while, at this moment, it was the person he was going to kill to bandage his wounds, and he had not yet turned around what the situation was.

"Rattle five times, and I'll open the door at any time of the day." Jingmo replied with a light smile while carefully bandaging.

"Five sounds?" Chang Ling nodded obediently, but when he heard the incessant ringing of the bell outside the door at this moment, he couldn't help asking, "Why are there seven rings outside the door now?" ”

Jing Mo's expression changed slightly, paused, and hurriedly said in a gentle and calm tone: "Maybe the young man heard it wrong, or he is a person outside the door who doesn't understand my rules."

Jing Mo saw that Chang Ling was still nodding obediently, and he didn't know if he was skeptical, so he said something else to change the topic: "You and your son-in-law are really good at picking the time, next time you come over, it's best not to pick the time so late now, otherwise the consultation fee can be doubled."

"Next time... Oh, good..."Chang Ling replied stunned, "Diagnosis? I forgot to bring..."

Jing Mo saw that Chang Ling seemed to be very nervous, and couldn't help but smile gently: "Don't worry, my son-in-law has been knocked hard by me last time, and I won't ask you what kind of consultation money you want again." Once the wound is bandaged, remember not to get wet. I still have out-of-door patients to deal with, so please do it. ”

Changling Mumu nodded, and hurriedly said goodbye and left, Jing Mo couldn't help but shake his head when he saw him walking over the wall three times and two times, and said to himself with a smile: "The strange boy who followed him is really a strange person."

When Jingmo confirmed that Changling had gone away, the rattle outside the door became more and more urgent, no more, no less, it was seven, two times more than the five prescribed for the patients, and he knew who and what was going on in his heart. She hurriedly dressed up, opened the door and went out.

"Jing Yakushi, there's an accident over there again! Go over and see him, only you can settle down! The person who rattled the bell was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, pulling Jingmo and going forward.

Jingmo listened, and her always gentle and calm face suddenly climbed a little worry and uneasiness, and without a moment's delay, she hurried over with the rattle.

As soon as Jingmo stepped into a hidden backyard door, he was pulled upstairs by a big-mouthed woman who was already anxiously waiting in the door.

"Jing Yakushi, you're here! It's killing us! What the hell is going on with him? We were entrusted by the Beijing Pharmacist to keep him here to take care of him that day, but according to his current situation, don't cry out for our life! We can't touch such a big mold in this building, and the sisters still have to do business! ”

Jingmo didn't say a word all the way, just bowed his head slightly, and listened with his eyebrows. The big-mouthed woman kept babbling and muttering, and at the same time pulled Jingmo into a hidden room in the innermost part of the upstairs quickly, and after pushing the door in, it was already a mess of chattering inside.

As soon as a woman with a graceful waist in the room saw Jingmo standing outside the threshold, she hurriedly pounced: "Momo, you are here!" Treat him quickly, and this wooden man who spares his life is trying to bite his tongue and kill himself! Fortunately, the little maids felt that it was early and stopped them. He only bit the blood, but not hurt his life, so go and see it. ”

Jingmo's gaze looked through the noise of the room to the dimly lit bed. On a crumpled and messy bedding, there was a man in plain clothes, who was so thin that he was only a skeleton, his face was withered and pale, his lips were bloodless, his thin chin was covered with a faint stubble, and his hooked nose was hollow with a pair of thin eyes. The whole person was slumped and weak, as if what existed on the couch was not a living body, but only a set of lifeless clothes.

Jingmo saw that the person on the couch was stuffed with a handkerchief in his mouth, and the handkerchief was still oozing with blood in his mouth, and he was exhausted at the moment, but when his eyes moved, he caught a glimpse of Jingmo standing at the door, and his empty and dry eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he suddenly burst into tears and choked speechlessly. Suddenly, he tried with all his strength to break free of the handkerchief that had been stuffed in his mouth, and tried to bite off the base of his tongue again.

"Shang Lu!" Jingmo's eyes were also slightly red, he stepped to the side of the bed in a few steps, tore off the handkerchief stuffed in his mouth with one hand, stretched out his index finger with the other hand, and pinned it between his teeth, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Jingmo, but he didn't dare to bite down again.

Seeing this situation, the graceful and slender woman who pounced on Jingmo saw this situation, so she motioned to everyone in the room to go out for the time being, and then skillfully took out the medicine box from the cabinet and gently handed it to Jingmo, and looked at Jingmo distressedly In order to prevent the man from biting his tongue again, he actually put his slender jade fingers between his teeth, and sighed and said to him who was lying on the couch:

"If you are alone, it is easy to die a good death, early death and late death, who cares about you? Who's going to stop you from dying here? It's just that you think about it with your heart, you have let Jingmo spend so many years and so much effort to settle you and take care of you, you say, how can you still have the face to die? ”

"Manman! I'll take care of this, don't worry, I won't let him cause any more trouble for Chun Manlou. Jingmo was still so unceremonious and merciless when she heard her speak, and she couldn't help but hurriedly say something to stop her.

"Hey, Momo, what are you talking about? What does it mean not to cause trouble to Chun Manlou? Don't let your temperament come, I will never let you take this paralyzed wood to Qinyuan, and the people who come to see a doctor come and go, isn't this ruining yourself? Don't think I'm talking badly, if I don't say something, he won't understand who he is living for. Man Man raised thin eyebrows, and looked at Jingmo with worry in her beautiful eyes.

Jing Mo saw Shang Lu's mood stabilize, and slowly removed the fingers that stopped him from biting his tongue, he didn't make any more movements, Jing Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly to Man Man, who turned his head: "He lives to live, not for anyone." Manman, I still have something to say to Shang Lu alone. ”

Man Man slammed the corners of his mouth at Jing Mo, glanced at her helplessly, and snorted softly but still coquettishly replied: "Okay, Jing Yakushi!" Man Man will go to show you the tea for the Beijing pharmacist, and if you have anything to say, you two will talk slowly. ”

Jingmo saw Manman walk out and closed the door firmly, and at this moment, all the gentle smiles that she usually used to show people at the corners of her eyes and lips suddenly collapsed, leaving only a pair of eyebrows frowning tightly, which was more usual. She skillfully took out a small bottle of medicine powder from the medicine box handed over by Manman, and applied medicine to the tip of Shang Lu's bleeding tongue, and Shang Lu was obedient and didn't make any more trouble.

Jing Mo watched the person in front of him be paralyzed like this for several years, unable to move or speak, but recently he has often tried to find a way to die. The clear autumn waves in Jingmo's eyes became quiet and dim at this time, and she didn't understand too much in her heart, so she asked in vain to this person who couldn't speak:

"Senior Brother Shang Lu, what made you the way you are today? Do the math, you've survived the whole decade, so why can't you think about it now? That incident hasn't been investigated yet, and now only you and I are left to rely on each other, how can you seek death and walk away? ”

Jing Mo's voice gradually turned back, and he sighed deeply, and Shang Lu turned his eyes to the side, not daring to fall on Jing Mo's reddened eyes. Jingmo suddenly remembered something, stabilized his slightly trembling throat, and said with an awe-inspiring expression:

"By the way, senior brother, you also know that our only clue is that person. I got the news today that he will come to Chunmanlou tomorrow, and I have already figured out how to approach him. Back then, when your life was hanging by a thread, you only had that painting of him on you, and what was the inside story, you have been seriously injured and can't explain it to me. Now, although I can't tell whether he is friend or foe, I can only investigate the twists and turns by taking the opportunity to get close to him. ”

Who knew that after Jingmo's quiet and resolute words were finished, Shang Lu suddenly turned his eyes back, and desperately opened his eyes to look at Jingmo, there seemed to be worry in his eyes, but more of the panic that was deposited in his heart. The sudden excitement made him tremble, and he used all his strength to move his throat, but he could only make a strange sound of "vomiting and mocking", but he still didn't give up, trying to control his half-open and half-closed mouth, trembling, as if saying something "don't, don't go" to stop Jingmo.
