Chapter 11: Jade Pendant

The weather was quite good on this day, the breeze was coming and the sun was shining, and Qingyi went out from Shangshu Mansion early in the morning with a big gift box, and she saw He Qingyun who was waiting there early in the morning under the old locust tree in the south of the city.

She walked over and nodded at him, and the two of them walked towards the Immortal Cultivator Society together. On the way, He Qingyi stopped talking, and Ji Qingyi turned his head to look at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What do you want to say? ”

He Qing's throat rolled, looked at her for a long time, and showed a bitter smile: "It's okay, you have to pay attention from time to time when you arrive at the church, and remember to run when you encounter danger."

Ji Qingyi smiled: "I can't do this kind of thing."

He Qingyun lowered his eyelids and said softly: "If you are well, I will have the rest of my mind to try to get out." If you are in a cage, I will be with you. ”

Ji Qingyi's heart was suffocated, she had never heard anyone say such things to her, even in modern times, she was also a gold medal forensic doctor in her own right, everyone felt that she was out of reach, and felt that she was a genius who should live in another world. So everyone thinks that she should not need anything, she has good clothes and food, but what people don't know is that she needs comfort, like ordinary people.

She shook her head and said to He Qingyun: "You can't do such a thing as abandoning your teammates. It's a big deal, we got caught together. ”

He Qingyun looked at her and stopped talking, and said after a while: "Don't say such frustrating words, we are going to join the association, and we are not doing anything, how can they attack us?" Be careful. ”

Ji Qingyi raised her eyebrows: "Makes sense."

The two of them walked to the south of the city and saw a child about five or six years old, squatting on the ground and looking at something.

Curious, the two went up to take a closer look, and saw that the child was holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand, and he was trying to drip blood on it.

The two of them were stunned, and He Qingyun hurriedly went up to stop him: "Child, what are you doing?"

The child was startled by the sudden sound, and suddenly squatted on the ground, and he cried out with a pout.

He Qingyi was at a loss, Ji Qingyi squatted down and touched the child's head: "Hello, what's your name?"

The child was stunned, and said, "My name is Erwa."

Ji Qingyi tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing an amiable smile: "Erwa, what are you doing here?" Brother, see that your hand is bleeding, do you need to bandage it? ”

Erwa lowered her head and looked at the jade pendant in her hand: "Erwa wants her mother to be well, and an uncle said that this jade pendant can cure A-Niang's illness, and he wants Erwa to feed Yupei with her own blood."

A cold color flashed in Ji Qingyi's eyes, but when he raised his eyes, he had a gentle smile: "That person lied to you, the jade pendant is just a jade pendant, and the jade pendant that you want to feed with blood is an evil thing, and you can't ask for it."

Saying that, he took the jade pendant from Erwa's hand: "There are insects in this jade pendant, you give it to your brother, and my brother smashed it, okay?"

The second baby looked at Yu Pei and then at Ji Qingyi, and whispered with a pout: "But, what about my aunt's illness?" The doctor no longer comes to Erwa's house, and thinks Erwa's family is poor. ”

Ji Qingyi smiled and said, "You take your brother to find your aunt, my brother knows some medical skills, how about my brother help your aunt diagnose the disease?"

The second baby immediately burst into tears and laughed, stood up and led the two of them towards the alley. The alley was very secluded, some green plants grew in the corner, and the two followed the second baby for a while, and they saw an extremely dilapidated house, and there was not even a gate fence in the house.

The second baby jumped in happily, shouting as she ran: "A-Niang, A-Niang, there is a kind brother to help you diagnose the disease."

Ji Qingyi and He Qingyi followed the second child in, and on the left side of the room was a small wooden bed lying horizontally, and on the bed lay a sallow and skinny woman.

The woman lovingly raised her hand and touched the second baby's head, and when she saw the two of them, she wanted to struggle to sit up.

Ji Qingyi hurriedly helped her to lie down and said, "You don't have to, just lie down."

The woman nodded, coughed twice, and said, "I don't know where the second baby invited you, I have been sick for many years, and I should have left a long time ago."

The second baby pouted and leaned on the side of the bed: "Auntie."

Ji Qingyi looked around her and said, "You look like you have a cold and tuberculosis. Do you have something unfortunate in your family? If it is a disease that accumulates, the medicine stone is also ignored. ”

The woman sighed: "How can I be happy, the head of the family died many years ago, leaving me alone to take care of the children."

The woman coughed a few more times and said, "A few days ago, the sister-in-law Wang of Dongjie gave me a pill from the Immortal Cultivation Society, saying that it could alleviate the condition, but I have not been willing to take it, I heard that the pill is very good for the body, so I thought about leaving it for the second baby."

He Qingyun frowned and interjected, "But you ate it?"

The woman shook her head, "No, it's always on top of the cupboard."

As he spoke, he looked up at the wall.

Ji Qingyi took out the jade pendant and handed it to the woman: "When my brother and I passed by here just now, I saw that the second baby was trying to drop her own onto the jade pendant."

The woman looked at the second baby nervously, raised her hand and grabbed the second baby's hand to look at it, and there was a cut on the second baby's finger.

The woman's eyes were red, her fingers trembled and stroked the fingertips of the second baby, and said in a trembling voice: "But it hurts?"

The second baby shook her head and grinned: "A-Niang's second baby doesn't hurt."

Ji Qingyi was a little touching, she had never gotten such a love from her relatives.

Ji Qingyi calmed down and said: "Don't worry, fortunately we stopped it in time, otherwise the second baby would be in danger."

The woman let go of the second baby and said nervously, "Is there anything unusual about this jade pendant?"

Ji Qingyi put the jade pendant in his hand and played with it: "This jade pendant is good at raising Gu worms, and it was brought by the Central Plains Warlock from Southern Xinjiang to be used as a container."

She paused and said, "Gu worms are in a dormant period, and they are nothing like ordinary jade pendants on weekdays, but as long as they are fed with blood, they will crawl out of the jade pendant, burrow into the body of the person who raised them, and suck toxins." In the early stage, it seems to be quite effective, there will be a red light on the face, and the spirit will be strong, but after the Gu worm sucks the toxin, it will break out of the body, leaving a pool of black water. ”

He Qingyun took two steps forward and exclaimed, "This Gu worm is the same as the Gu worm in the pill of the Immortal Cultivation Society?"

Ji Qingyi nodded, and said, "It's just that this jade pendant is superior, and it doesn't seem to be owned by the people of the Immortal Cultivation Society."

The woman's face turned even more pale, her lips were no longer bloody, and she muttered repeatedly, "Why do they want to treat my second baby like this?"

Ji Qingyi said to the woman: "Evil sect crooked people, but in order to seek cultivation, you might as well let us take a look at the pill to see if it is the same Gu worm as this jade pendant."

The woman nodded hurriedly: "It's above the closet, you can go and get it yourself."

He Qingyun flew to the beam, a praying mantis whirled and hung his legs upside down on the beam, and with an extension of his arm, he took down a white porcelain bottle on the roof.

He Qingyi sent the bottle to Qingyi, and Qingyi opened the cork of the white porcelain bottle, put the pill inside in her hand, and sniffed the pill on the tip of her nose.

The woman asked carefully, "But what do you see?"

Ji Qingyi shook his head: "This is just an ordinary pill, there are no Gu worms but it has no effect." It's about the same as sugar puree. ”

The woman nodded slightly: "That's fine, that's fine."

Ji Qingyi stepped forward and picked the woman's eyelids: "Please open your mouth."

The woman opened her mouth as she said, and Ji Qingyi looked inside and said, "Do you have a pen and paper at home?"

The woman shook her head, "No."

Ji Qingyi thought for a while and said, "But there are coals?"

The woman pointed to the boiler next to her: "There's one over there."

Ji Qingyi walked to the side of the boiler, broke the coals into several pieces, and then bent down to pick up a piece and handed it to He Qingyi: "I said the prescription, you write."

He Qingyun took the coals and said, "How do you use this, and besides, where is it written on no rice paper?"

Ji Qingyi turned around and tore off the white robe on his body: "No, with this, I said you write."

He Qingyun nodded, moved his lips and didn't say anything.

Ji Qingyi said with his hands behind his back: "Sha ginseng, bellflower, Baibu, Banxia, atractylodes, angelica, burnt mulberry peel, white cardamom, tangerine peel, fried almonds are 0.18 taels each." Boiled licorice 0.12 taels. Aster, chicken west gold, prunella 0.24 taels each. 0.3 taels of baiji. 0.36 taels of sour jujube kernels. Yam 0.48 taels. ”

Yu Yu turned around and took out a silver ingot from the gift box he brought and handed it to Erwa: "Erwa, you go and take this prescription to buy medicine, and keep the rest of the money to buy food."

The second baby took the silver and the prescription and went out, and the woman was excited to get up again, as if she wanted to kneel and worship, He Qingyan hurriedly stopped: "You lie down, you don't have to be like this."

Ji Qingyi walked to the side of the bed and said to the woman: "When the second baby catches the medicine, you can drink it once in the morning, noon and evening, remember not to be depressed."

The woman nodded.

Ji Qingyi said again: "I have a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

The woman hurriedly said, "Tell me, but if there is anything I can help with, there is no reason not to help."

Ji Qingyi shook his head and said, "Can you give us this jade pendant?"

The woman nodded: "It's okay, even if I don't give this jade pendant to my benefactor, I will throw it away."

Ji Qingyi waved at the woman and said, "So I left with my brother, and we still have important things to do."

The woman half-propped herself up and said, "Then I can't think of sending it, thank you benefactor."

After Ji Qingyi and He Qingyi went out, they looked at the dilapidated courtyard and sighed softly.

When He Qingyan saw her expression, he said: "The world is big, there is no place of great harmony, but where there are people, there will be exploitation, and there will be classes." It's like the law of the jungle, and so are the days. ”

Ji Qingyi smiled: "Datong? Feudal dictatorship, still want to have Datong? It hasn't been for thousands of years, and even if the imperial system is overthrown, it won't be. ”

She squinted at the sky and said lightly: "People's hearts, people's hearts are unpredictable."

He Qingyun suddenly felt that Ji Qingyi was like a transcendent fairy girl, as if she was about to disappear if she didn't pay attention. He subconsciously grabbed her sleeve, and only after reacting did he feel that something was wrong, so he coughed and said, "Let's go, otherwise it will be dark next day."
