Chapter 20: The Undercurrent is Turbulent

"It's a brute, how could I possibly beat it. ”

"Ying Yanshu, what do you mean!" Ying Zhao suddenly became excited.

"Don't you know what I mean, Daddy, you really plan to keep this beast in our house forever. Don't look at it now in human skin, it will ruin this place sooner or later. ”

"Stinky boy, you're working hard in the charm department, are you embarrassed to talk about me? If you want me to see, you are the one who is most likely to cause trouble!"

"Shut up for me!" Ying Xuan stopped the two of them, "What are you saying frustrating words during the New Year's banquet!" Ying Zhao, you go back first, and take Wenwen well." ”

"Yes, sir. Ying Zhao agreed and left the stable.

Seeing what Ying Yanshu wanted to say again, Ying Xuan raised his hand and motioned him not to say any more, saying, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own measure." ”

Suddenly, Ying Zhao's deliberately amplified voice shouted from outside the stable: "Brother Qi Rang, why are you here!"

"I, I'm just going around. Why are you so loud?" As soon as the words fell, Qi Rang turned around the corner and came to the entrance of the stable.

Qi Rang saw Ying Xuan, who was blushing and old in the stable, and the young man with an aggrieved face opposite, and immediately understood what had just happened, and said with embarrassment: "Then what, I'll just turn around." I just came, but I didn't hear anything. ”

"It is said that family ugliness is not publicized, and I don't think there is anything to avoid. In contrast, the old man is a little more free, "The dog should be a wild goose, with a stubborn temperament, and the old man has no way to teach his son." With that, Ying Xuan flicked his sleeves and left here.

"Makes you laugh. Ying Yanshu said a word to Qi Rang casually, and then began to choose horses, no longer paying attention to Qi Rang.

"Today is a young age, why is the son preparing a horse?"

"I'm going to go out and come back when I'm old. Ying Yanshu responded coldly.

"Oh. Seeing that Ying Yanshu ignored it, Qi Rang didn't ask much, paced in the stable by himself, and came to the next of the man who shoveled dung.

"Brother, ······ I ask you something"

"Are you talking to him?" Ying Yanshu noticed Qi Rang's actions and took the initiative to speak, "He's a deaf man. ”

Qi Rang saw that his subordinates really didn't react, so he had to say thank you embarrassedly. Ying Yanshu didn't pay any attention to it anymore and led the horse away directly.

Only Qi Rang and the subordinate were left in the stable. Qi let him pass the time boredly with the mane of a black horse.

Suddenly, a wisp of fragrance that was so faint that it was almost imperceptible penetrated Qi Rang's nose, if it weren't for Qi Rang's perennial refining of medicine, it would never be smellable.

Qi rang alerted, pretended to take a walk, and came to the next man. This is the second ugliest person Qi Rang has seen so far, with deformed facial features and scars on his face. The aroma around him was slightly stronger, but still imperceptible to the others. Qi Rang remembered that this was a commonly used incense for women in Qinglou.

How could a very ugly subordinate, ugly and poor, have contact with a woman in the Qinglou? A poisonous needle slipped from Qi Rang's sleeve into his hand.

Looking at this disgusting look, Qi Rang remembered one of his former patients. But he was even more unsightly than the people in front of him. Because of his injuries, his entire face turned into a mess of minced meat, and Qi Rang saved his life, but he couldn't save his face.

"Friend, you're hiding so deeply. Qi Rang came to the subordinate and said softly.

Hearing this, the subordinate stretched out his clenched right hand. Qi made his nerves tense and ready to make a move at any time. But the right hand was spread out, and it was not an imaginary weapon, but two thumb-sized copper pots.

The subordinate didn't raise his head when he spoke, and his voice was hoarse and trembling incessantly: "Help me with two things, you promised me." ”

Qi Rang was completely blinded.

The copper kettle is his. Qi Rang obeyed the orders of his master, and when he went out, he would bring this kind of copper kettle, and the three copper kettles were worn in a string. The master once said that the doctor should have the heart of hanging the pot to help the world. Three copper kettles are hung in front of the clinic, which means that any disease can be cured here, and no patient will be refused. Therefore, Qi Rang also carried these small copper kettles with him, and if he met some special patients on the way, he would give him a string of copper kettles, promising to help him three more times within his ability when he met him in the future.

Could the person in front of him be his own patient, why don't he remember? This person is so ugly, I won't be impressed. Could it be him? Qi Rang couldn't help but think of the face full of minced meat, but quickly denied himself. Although the person in front of him is ugly, he has deformed facial features, and it is impossible for his facial features to grow back.

"Who are you?"

"I am your patient, you are my benefactor. The servant didn't look up when he spoke, and from a distance he was still concentrating on shoveling horse manure, "You won't lie to the patient, will you?" ”

"No, it won't. What are you asking me to help you?"

"First, don't say anything, don't ask anything. The subordinate silently stuffed a copper kettle into Qi Rang's hand.

"Hmm. ”

"Second, leave as soon as possible before the New Year's feast, the sooner the better. The servant stuffed the second copper kettle into Qi Rang's hand, "Benefactor, I don't want to see you buried." ”

······

Qi Rang left the gate of Ying Mansion, and Ying Zhao watched his back gradually disappear.

Time flies, the last time I saw him seemed like yesterday, but he didn't recognize himself. After all, the last time I saw him, he was a demon beast, and it was normal for him to not recognize his human form. Now he still has pupils in his eyes, and his skin is not gray-blue, so he is not used to looking at it. Ying Zhao thought to himself.

It's just that Ying Zhao can't understand how he will become a ghost in the future if he obviously destroyed that ruin, and why should he let himself destroy that ruin?

······

The sun was about to disappear from the skyline, and a large group of people and horses rushed towards Kai Yan City in the smoke and dust. People carried all kinds of weapons on their backs, and the word "Yan" was tattooed on the armbands on their shoulders. The man at the head was carrying a cross-bladed steel spear on his back, his face was gloomy and his face was majestic, but there seemed to be a lack of confidence in his eyes.

"Sixth, is the news true?" the man asked.

"I heard it from a woman in a green house. Ying Yanshu is her old customer, and once told her this in bed after getting drunk. Judging by the style of that playboy, you can't go wrong. A middle-aged man behind him replied.

"But after all, it's not you who heard it yourself, a Qinglou woman makes you sure. A young man with a piano on his back couldn't help but mock.

"Stinky boy, look for a beating!" the middle-aged man pulled out a fork on horseback.

"Do you want to try?" the young man was undaunted.

"Don't say it!" the leader shouted, "The marrow blood of the ancient demon beast is too precious, whether it is true or not, we must try it." I've decided, cowards who want to quit can get out now!"

The people behind him didn't dare to argue anymore, and someone muttered quietly.

"Why is the boss in such a bad mood these days. ”

"You don't know? ”

"Why did she run?"

"I don't know, it seems to have run away with one of the mercenaries in our regiment. That guy doesn't usually talk to people, no one knows what he's doing, and he can actually kidnap Yan Yu away. ”

"Do you think this mission will work? ”

"With the skills of the boss, there will be no accidents. ”

"When you say that, I don't seem to have seen the boss make another move recently. ”

······

"Xiaoyu, I don't worry about them. ”

"You want to go back?"

"It's time for them to act tonight. I went directly to Ying's mansion to avoid any accidents. ”

"Then I'm going too, and you won't be allowed to sneak away again. ”

"Of course you're going, and you're going to promise me two things. ”

"What's the matter?"

"One, don't come in case of danger. I'll be fine, and I'll be distracted to protect you if you come. ”

"Good. ”

"Second, if you go back this time, you can stay with your brother, it's too dangerous to follow me. ”

"Why? No, I said I wouldn't leave you, didn't you say you liked me, why did you keep driving me away?"

"Don't be so drizzling. ”

······

In a private house in Kaiyi City, Qi Rang was feeding a child medicine. The child's parents stood aside, their red eyes full of relief. In order to treat the child, they spent almost all the family's savings, and Qi Rang's appearance gave them hope. In a corner of the house were pumpkins and potatoes, and skewers of sausages hung from them, all the ingredients the family had prepared for the New Year's feast, but poverty did not dilute the happiness in the house.

While feeding the medicine, Qi Rang recalled what the subordinate said, and the word "martyrdom" pierced his heart like a needle. If there is a chance to save people, what can I do as a doctor and be buried? However, Ying Xuan's bottle of medicine made him hesitate. His subordinate is the incarnation of a demon beast, why should he order a bottle of selective poison against a demon beast? Is he really just a kind old man? Is he worth saving himself?

Just when Qi Rang hesitated, the outline of the moon could already be seen in the dim sky in the east, and the smoke reflected the blood light.
