Kuyu Town is a small town in the ancient kingdom of Jingchuan, located between the Xuqin Mountains and Shaoyang City. In front of the trinket stall in the town's street market, the old man and a strange guest argued.

The guest was wrapped in a black robe, wearing a hat with a black veil, and even his hands were wearing gloves, and he looked like a man from the point of view. He carried a large medicine bag on his shoulder, a roll of straw mats behind him, and a worn-out scarf peeking out from under the black veil.

"Couldn't it be cheaper?" said the guest, fiddling with a necklace of turquoise beads.

"Brother, seven silver coins, it can't be cheaper, it's not expensive!"

"I don't carry much cash. The guest pulled out several strings of thumb-sized copper kettles, "This is what I used to carry with me, and now I don't need it." You see how much it's worth. ”

The old man took the copper kettle, looked at it, and said, "This, two silver coins at most." ”

"Two, at least four. ”

"Three silver coins and five copper coins, no more. ”

"Then I can't afford it, goodbye. With that, the guest threw down the necklace and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, okay, okay, I've got you. Seeing this, the old man had to pull the guest back, "Four is four." ”

The guest put down the copper kettle and pulled out three more silver coins. The old man briefly checked the authenticity of the silver coin, wrapped the necklace and gave it to the guest in a small tin box.

It's been a long time since I've bargained like an ordinary person like this. If the old man knew the identity of the guest, he would probably leave the stall and run.

Every transaction on the Banker's Bridge is not measured by money, and it is natural that you will not look at such a cheap bracelet. He was going back to see an old friend, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and he thought maybe he should bring her a gift.

Located near Shaoyang City, Lilingjian is a huge sinkhole formed by geological collapse. Although it is nearby, it is two hours away on foot. There is a small isolated village at the bottom of the stream, and to get out of it, you need to go through a rugged plank road above a cliff, and there is a path outside the plank road that leads to Yisang, where the villagers will go to buy daily necessities. The boardwalk was long and thin, and at its narrowest point it was just big enough for a loaded mule. Of course, if you want to enter the stream, there is a faster way.

From the top of the stream, an iron cable hangs in the air, leading to the clouds. One end of the iron cable is firmly tied to the rock wall, and two iron rings are buckled one after the other, and a thin hemp rope is tied to the iron ring at the back, and then passes through the iron ring in front and extends along the iron cable. Next to the rock wall, he was skillfully pulling the fine hemp rope.

As the hemp rope was dragged, a thin iron cable with pedals attached to the other end of the hemp rope was pulled up the rock wall from the clouds. An iron ring is attached to the top of the thin iron cable, and the iron ring is attached to the air iron cable, so that the thin iron cable can move in the direction of the air iron cable. He stepped on the pedals, grabbed the thin iron cable, let go of the hemp rope, and slid along the air iron cable to the bottom of the zero stream.

Under the clouds and mist, the green trees and verdant vines, the turbulent blue pool, the waterfall emits a deafening roar, and the pool water connects the karst cave with the mysterious underground dark river. The falcon soared beside him, casting a shadow from the sky and startling away the yellow muntjac who was drinking by the pool.

It's been a long time since I've been here, and under the veil, a smile unconsciously appeared on my gray-blue face. It's not a miserable laugh that asks for your life, but a warm smile that really comes from the heart, who in the world would have thought that the famous immortal monster doctor would laugh like this?

The via ferrata passes over the waterhole and is about to come to an end. He pinched a pair of tongs at the top of the thin iron cable, which slowed down until it finally stopped in front of the rock wall on the shore of the waterhole. He jumped off the rope and sat on the shore, looking at the deep water of the lake, reminiscing about the past.

······

He was imprisoned in the Shaoyang dungeon. That night, he killed the jailer guarding him with a poisoned needle that had been hiding under his tongue. The moment he stepped out of the cell door, the ground began to shake, and he knew there was an earthquake. He ran out as fast as he could, seeing other prisoners crying for help in their cells. But at that time, he was no longer the original Qi Rang, he would not save them, and he could not save them. He met a guard on duty, and it was important to flee for his life, and the two of them looked at each other, but did not pay attention to each other.

Just as the two escaped to the exit of the dungeon, the dungeon collapsed. When Qi Rang woke up again, he was only pressed with a thin layer of gravel on his body, which was really thankful. A huge stone slab pressed down on the guard, who was unconscious in front of him, but not dead yet.

But he must die, and he can't let others know that he is still alive, otherwise Mo Cang will not let him go. He struggled to his feet, picking up a sharp piece of gravel and trying to slit the guard's throat. But he didn't have any strength anymore, he couldn't even hold on to the stone.

It was one of his worst memories: he ended up biting the guard to death with his teeth.

The moment the carotid artery burst in his mouth, the pain caused the guard to open his eyes. He will never forget that look.

He crawled out of the rubble and tried to escape, but he didn't have to run a few steps before he fell headlong to the ground. The footsteps were getting closer, were they the guards? No, the guards' boots made a heavy thumping sound, and the footsteps were soft, and seemed a little timid.

"Are you alright?" The voice was gentle, it was a woman.

He didn't trust anyone anymore, but now, believing in her was his only choice.

"Help, save me, take me, take me, leave Shaoyang. With the last of his strength he uttered these words, he passed out completely. When he woke up again, he was already in Lizero Village.

She said her name was Min'er and he lived in Min'er's house. She planted many herbs in the yard, and she used the potion she had made to heal his wounds. He wanted to come by himself, but he really didn't want to hit Min'er, but the injury was not healed, and there was a red rash around the wound.

The victim smiled bitterly and went to comfort the dejected "murderer" and teach her medical skills. Since then, she has called him "Master", and he said that his name is Qi Rang.

He told her his story, and she comforted him with tears, but failed to stop him from taking revenge. She watched him perform terrible experiments on herself, she watched him turn into a blind eye, she put on a black robe and a hat for him, and sent him away.

The other villagers only knew that Qi Rang had left here, and only she knew that Qi Rang was Xuan.

Sitting on the shore, looking at the necklace he bought, his heart suddenly became nervous, would she like this little thing? He had never bought ornaments for himself, let alone given them to others. For him, it is much more difficult to give a girl a gift than to confront Poor Ying.

"Who's there?" said an old man's voice behind him. Looking back, the old man with two mules passed by on the side of the path. One mule holds the salt and the other the flour.

"Uncle Chen, I'm Qi Rang!" Uncle Chen is highly respected in the village, and the villagers' procurement of daily necessities is handed over to Uncle Chen's agent. At that time, it was Uncle Chen who took Min'er to Shaoyang to purchase and saved himself.

"Qi Rang, you're back, why are you dressed like this, come and show Uncle Uncle!" Hearing this voice, Uncle Chen left and ran to the shore, wanting to lift the veil.

"Don't, don't. Qi Rang hurriedly stopped Uncle Chen, "I, I have a rash outside, it will, it will be contagious." ”

"This, you're still a doctor, why are you so careless. Uncle Chen suddenly looked at his hand, "Eh, what are you holding?"

"Ah, this, this is ······" I was stumbling and wanted to hide the necklace in the medicine bag.

"Yo, the necklace!" Uncle Chen's eyes were sharp, and he grinned, "How about it?"

“······ Be. ”

"Hahaha, that's great. Uncle told you, you two haven't seen each other for a long time, and this time I took the opportunity to say everything that should be said. If Min'er agrees, don't go. Hey, this moment, Min'er has been here for eight years, and you came here seven years ago, and you have been gone for six years. Pity me as an old man, Gan Sheng, a little bastard, who hasn't come back to see me for eight years. ”

The more Chen Bo spoke, the more excited he became, and he echoed with a wry smile. Suddenly, he realized something and interrupted Uncle Chen: "Wait a minute, Uncle Chen, what did you just say? Who is Gan Sheng?"

"Gan Sheng? Oh, I didn't tell you. Gan Sheng is my godson, and I picked it up and raised it. He has been wandering outside, and eight years ago he brought back two girls, said that he was a friend, asked me to take care of them, and left again. One girl later left on her own, and the other girl was Min'er. ”

Gan Sheng······ Last Soldier ······ Jin Huang ······ Flame ······ No, no, no, no. She suddenly muttered to herself.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about?"

"No, nothing. Uncle Chen, are you sure Min'er came here eight years ago?"

"Of course, I can't remember the day my son came back?"

"Eight years ago, Poor Ying, Yan Hong, and the last soldier ······ No. Under the veil, cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
