Chapter 1: The Dead City
The bare cemeteries are full of paper, and the gloomy sky seems to rain at any moment. The cold wind blew people shivering, and even the few trees that were sparse looked unusually desolate, and the surroundings were full of gloomy and strange things.
Where is this? Mu Xi looked at the scene in front of her blankly, and she once suspected that she was dreaming. But if it was a dream, how could it be so real, the cold feeling penetrated into the skin and into the bone marrow, so cold that she couldn't help but hug her arms.
Inadvertently lowered his eyes, he found himself wearing a white dress with long sleeves and wide sleeves, a typical ancient costume, similar to the clothing of the Han Dynasty. The long hair that hung over her shoulders all the way down to her waist was not her, or rather, the body was not hers.
She is a mushroom head, a modern man, the heir to a family of medicine. The family wanted her to have deeper attainments, so they sent her to study abroad. A massive explosion seriously injured hundreds of people, and she did not rest for three days, sticking to the operating room and fighting for her life with death.
No one knew that she had leukemia and could not work long hours, especially when it came to surgery. She didn't tell her family because she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to bear it, and she didn't tell her boss because she was afraid that those who were killed would lose their lives, and she wanted to use her last life to save more people.
When she felt that she could no longer support it, she looked up at the familiar and dazzling fluorescent lamp, and her heart was full of warmth and kindness. She knew she could no longer stand under the lights and continue the medical work she loved.
At the moment of falling, her blurred vision saw the concerned and nervous expressions of her colleagues, and the calls in her ears made her both moved and worried. Goodbye, my dear family, goodbye, everyone, goodbye, my scalpel......
The moment I closed my eyes, all the sounds faded away, and I woke up again. She didn't know where she was, whose body her soul had run into, and she didn't know where to go in the face of a few paths.
After hesitating for a while, she finally chose the middle path and walked forward tentatively. Along the way, there are dead branches and leaves, and the road ahead is long, and I don't know where to go. After walking for about twenty minutes, Mu Xi finally felt hungry, and she couldn't help but be excited, does this mean that she is still alive?
If she hadn't died, would her current situation be the legendary resurrection of the corpse? So ridiculous, yet real, irresistible. She only has her own memory, not any memory of the owner of this body, she doesn't know what age it is, who she is, where she should go, what should she do?
Now that she can't solve her hunger, does she want to starve to death in this unknown era? No, no, no, she was finally reborn, even in feudal antiquity, she was not willing to die like this, there are still many things she wants to do, at least to find out what dynasty this is and who she is.
A thought supported Mu Xi to keep moving forward, she firmly believed that if there is a road, there will be an exit, there will be a home, and she will not die like this.
After walking for more than an hour, I finally saw the outline of an ancient city in front of me, just like the ancient city of ancient ruins. Mu Xi's heart ignited a glimmer of hope, she was originally tired, hungry and couldn't walk anymore, but suddenly she had strength. She told herself that if she persevered a little longer, she would be able to have something to eat, so she encouraged herself while walking, and unconsciously, she was getting closer and closer to the ancient city, and the appearance of the ancient city was slowly presented in her eyes.
In the five- or six-storey ancient city, two traditional Chinese characters "dead city" are engraved on the city's head. The walls are dilapidated, the appearance has long since fallen off, the withered vines at the base of the wall are entwined on it, and the bluestone slabs and bricks on the ground are full of cracks and potholes, all of which silently tell passers-by that it is an ancient city with a history.
Mu Xi didn't understand why this city was called a dead city, and it seemed that the engraved traces had been carved for a long time. The strange scenes along the way made Mu Xi think that his soul had penetrated into some kind of supernatural continent.
If it weren't for the swaying figures in ancient costumes in the city, she would have wondered what kind of tourist attraction she had arrived. What kind of city is this, so dilapidated that it has not been repaired, and with a worried heart, she slowly walked into the city.
The city is not as lively as in the play, but deserted. The paper was flying, the shops were empty, the pedestrians were sparse, and even the wind blowing through had a desolate aura.
Observing the surrounding scene with heavy steps, Mu Xi was a little disappointed, this shouldn't be an abandoned city, so where are you going? What should I do if I am hungry and thirsty right now......
Weakly raising his head and looking around again, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of him on the left, surrounding him in one direction. Seeing that the expressions of those people were a little solemn, I couldn't hear what they were talking about from a distance.
Since there are so many people in the city, then this ancient city is not a ruined city, it is not a ruined city, she has hope of survival, and the rest will wait until the situation is clarified.
When I got closer, I heard what everyone was talking about, only to hear an old man sigh and say: "I didn't expect the prince to fall ill too, is our city really going to become a dead city?" ”
The old man's words caused a small commotion, and the officers and soldiers standing next to him scolded: "Evil words confuse the public, the prince is not infected with the plague, but this disease is a little strange, so he posted a lot of money to hire a person who is skilled in Qihuang's skills to treat the prince." You have to figure it out, now the prince is everyone's hope, if the prince really has three longs and two shorts, none of you have any hope of survival. Therefore, if someone knows the art of Qihuang, he will quickly unveil the list to heal the prince, and the prince will be cured, and he will continue to find a way to remove the plague for everyone and take everyone out of this dead city. ”
Hearing this, Mu Xi also probably figured out what was going on in this ancient city, and made up her mind in her heart, she pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, and tore off the list without hesitation. When the officers and soldiers saw that someone had unveiled the list, they immediately walked over, but when they saw that it was a girl who was disheveled and disheveled, the officers and soldiers shouted: "Where did the girl come from, she dared to tear up the list, do you know that this is a crime?" ”
Mu Xi glanced at the list in his hand, and replied fearlessly: "This list is clearly written, a reward is offered to hire a person with excellent medical skills to treat the night king, and anyone who can be cured will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, the little woman is right?" ”
Hearing this, the officers and soldiers re-examined Mu Xi, and said in a soothing tone: "Since the girl knows the words on it, she must also know its meaning, but I advise you, this is to treat the Night King of the Nightfall Country, you have to think about it." ”
This officer and soldier also had good intentions, and his implication was that if she was cured, if she couldn't be cured, maybe the responsibility would be put on her, and she was afraid that her life would be ruined when the time came. Now, she is uneducated, unfamiliar with life, if she doesn't gamble, she will definitely die, gamble, there is still a glimmer of life, she will never let go of any hope of life.
Nodding gratefully, Mu Xi said: "The little girl has learned some Qihuang techniques since she was a child, the prince is everyone's hope, even if she risks her life, the little woman is willing to give it a try, the eldest brother just take the little girl to see the prince." ”
At this point, the officers and soldiers did not say anything more, although he did not know why this girl was so determined to treat the prince, at the moment, if there was a glimmer of hope, he did not want to miss it.
"In that case, then come with me."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked in front to lead the way, Mu Xi smiled and nodded at the stunned everyone, no longer hesitated, and walked to follow the officer and soldier in front. The people behind came to their senses, gossiping, and talking, Mu Xi didn't care about their doubts and speculations about themselves, in this backward ancient medical science, they didn't know what disease their patients had, to be honest, she was not sure.
