Wen Wan frowned, staring straight at the trembling man who was huddled in a ball and did not move. Seeing Lin Yuan glaring at her, she took a few steps forward and bent down to look at the person's appearance. The curled thief sensed her approach, and directly buried his face in his stomach with his head in his hands and whimpered.

"Ah Yuan, he seems to be a little familiar." Wen Wan gently pulled Lin Yuan's sleeve, her face full of doubt.

Lin Yuan was pulled by her sleeve and had to squint impatiently, but he was a little stunned! He quickly pushed away the crowd, pulled up the emaciated man who was prostrate on the ground with red eyes, brushed away his messy hair and took a closer look, his sudden eyes were red.

Regardless of the dirt, he hugged the person tightly: "Fan Zhong! You are Fan Zhong! Oh my God, you're still alive! ”

Wen Wan also recognized the person, opened her mouth wide for a long time and couldn't close it, how did she come to be like this?

Fan Zhong stumbled away from him, shook his head as if frightened: "You, you recognize the wrong person." ”

How can he recognize his former brother with his sick and crooked appearance now? It's just a drag!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help it anymore, and ran away eagerly with the strength of breastfeeding, and didn't even bother to turn around and pick up half of the fire that was tightly held in his arms. Unfortunately, his injuries were too serious, and he fell to the ground in a drowsy state before he could run far.

Wen Wan hurriedly asked Lin Yuan to chase after her, and she took out the copper plate and bought a few fires to quickly follow behind. The shopkeeper of the donkey butcher's shop, who beat people half to death a moment ago, and the guy next to him couldn't help but be stupid when they saw this dramatic scene: "Hurry up! Close, close, close! ”

The guy was a little confused: "Huh? "Not doing business?

The shopkeeper of the donkey butcher's shop kicked him: "You are stupid! People are obviously very familiar with each other, let's beat people like that, and after a while, the noble man will come to the door and smash our shop. ”

As soon as the guy thought about it, he hurriedly went to the door to hang a closed sign, and did not forget to praise his boss: "It's still the shopkeeper's cleverness!" ”

The shopkeeper of the donkey butcher shop raised his eyebrows proudly; "That's it! Or am I the shopkeeper? Tell you, I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice, study hard! ”

After speaking, he stood on the counter and fiddled with the abacus, and from time to time swept away the diners who had not finished eating with his eagle eye, for fear that they would fish in troubled waters and run away without paying the money. Small business, can't help tossing!

Lin Yuan and Wen Wan didn't bother to trouble him, they only carried the bruises all over their bodies, and Fan Zhong, who was unconscious, hurriedly ran to the medical hall, and pulled the medicine boy's collar and hurriedly urged the doctor to come and see.

The old doctor in the hospital hall saw the diagnosis for a long time, washed his hands and ate in the backyard, but he thought that the front hall was noisy and had to sigh and put the rice bowl, let his wife eat first, and rolled up his sleeves and scolded while walking: "Urge, urge, urge!" ”

Saying that, he has been practicing medicine for many years and knows that people's lives are at stake, and when he saw Lin Yuan, who was running around the house, shouting with red eyes on his back, he hurriedly put people down and carefully checked his pulse.

After a while, the doctor touched his beard and said: "The vitality is greatly damaged, the qi is deficient and waiting to be taken off, the pulse is slight, and the trauma that does not heal is very dangerous!" This is the prescription for ginseng soup, you first grasp the medicine according to the prescription. Remember three times a day, and come to me for a follow-up after half a month. ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly took the prescription and went to the medicine boy to grab the medicine, the most important thing in this ginseng soup is ginseng, and it is not good to eat half a month. The couple gritted their teeth and took out one hundred and sixty taels of silver, but it was only worth exchanging it for seven dollars of ginseng, which was still fifty years old, which was really more expensive than gold.

In this way, the couple delayed in Dingzhou City for half a month, and finally pulled Fan Zhong's life back with soup and medicine. At this time, he was leaning weakly on the head of the bed, staring at the shredded mushroom and chicken porridge boiled in Lin Yuan's hand, his eyes glowing green.

Lin Yuan shook his head and blew twice before handing him the porridge bowl, Fan Zhong hurriedly reached out and took it, and hurriedly poured it into his mouth. He really fell with his neck tilted and his mouth wide open, he was so hungry.

So much so that after drinking ten bowls of porridge, he stared at the steamed buns on the table next to him: "Can I eat that steamed bun?" ”

Lin Yuan sighed and gave him his breakfast in one go: "How did you get here?" ”

Fan Zhong ignored him, his skinny hands grabbed the steamed buns and gnawed on them, obviously choking and rolling his eyes but nodding wildly with satisfaction. Hunger wrapped around him like maggots on tarsal bones, and only by holding on could his empty and weak soul be filled a little.

When the ten steamed buns were swallowed, he couldn't stop burping, and then he had time to raise his head and look at Lin Yuan sadly: "What about Zhenniang?" ”

Lin Yuan saw that the first thing he was worried about when he woke up was this, so he had to tell him in detail about the changes in the past year, and Fan Zhong's eyes widened when he heard it: "It's so painful and tortuous!" Blame me for not protecting their mother and son! ”

Lin Yuan smiled indifferently: "It's all over, and now we are ready to go to Beijing." Jane Niang Xu is there, do you want one? It's just that you should know that our journey is very dangerous, and we may lose our lives at any time. ”

Fan Zhong hurriedly got up crookedly, knelt on the bed and kowtowed to him twice, so startled that Lin Yuan stepped forward to help him: "What are you doing here?" ”

Fan Zhong smiled at him with red eyes: "Brother's life was saved by the two of you, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire are with you." What's more, Zhen Niang and Wen Li are also in the capital. Brother is stupid, so I'll kowtow to you twice. ”

Lin Yuan lowered his eyes and nodded, if he didn't follow them, Fan Zhong's weak body would probably not survive the winter.

After a while, he looked up: "How did you come this year?" How did you become what you are now? ”

Fan Zhong hiccuped, only leaned weakly on the head of the bed and said slowly: "On that day, the city was broken, the sky was full of firelight and killing, and the officials in the city were as vulnerable as grasshoppers shaking trees. I saw that there was no hope of defending the city, so I took the magistrate and a few officials to the cellar that my sister-in-law said. As soon as he hid in the cellar, Qingzhou City was burned to the sky. ”

"At the beginning, it was fine, and there was a lot of food in the cellar. But then we hid for two months, and we had to take turns hunting in the mountains to fill our stomachs. On the day when it was my turn to go hunting, a large group of mountain bandits took refuge in the cellar, stole the food, and killed all of us. My lord, it's gone. Thinking of this, he shrank back.

"I fought to kill those people and avenge my brothers, and I myself was seriously injured and dying. After being in a coma for half a month, I woke up and buried the adults, so I fled all the way north with some broken silver, and escaped death several times, not to mention being almost eaten. ”

After saying that, he smiled, he couldn't help but say anything about the hunger and cold all the way, serious illness and scabies, just thinking about it, he was afraid in his bones.

"Later, I was so hungry that I couldn't walk, so I stopped looking for you and settled in this Dingzhou City. It's a pity that my body and bones are broken, and I can't do anything, so I can only live by sneaking and begging for my life......" After finishing his words, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell into a groggy sleep.

When Lin Yuan got up to cover him, he suddenly saw two scarred knife wounds on his wrists. He was stunned for a long time before he let out a long sigh, and the bad guy survived.

In the future, he will be able to stand up again, as high as ever, and be full of spirit.
