Above the altar that non-idle people can step on, there is an old man with white hair, he looked at the sky for a long time, the expression on his face changed, and after a while, he hurriedly got off the altar, returned to the quiet room and carefully divined and deduced, and went straight to a small two-story building not far away.

Outside the house, one left and one right, stood two rows of tall, muscular, and expressionless young guards.

In the lobby on the first floor, there were a few people sitting or standing, chatting heartily, one of them was a middle-aged scribe with a majestic face and a slight short beard under his chin, seeing the old man's hurried expression, the smile on his face couldn't help but shrink a little, and asked solemnly: "Old Huang, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

The rest of the people all looked at Huang Lao and bowed their hands one after another, but Huang Lao didn't squint, walked straight to the middle-aged scribe, and muttered something in his ear.

The nearest teenager vaguely heard Huang Lao mention the word Lingqiu, and he couldn't help but have a question in his heart: "Huang Lao is the descendant of Qin Tianjian of the previous dynasty, most of this Qin Tianlin are hereditary, familiar with astronomy and geography, divination and astrology, and his family is one of the leaders, what major events have happened in the past, he can always deduce a seven, seven, eighty, eight, and eight, this time what great celestial phenomena have you seen?" The Lingqiu he said was Lingqiu County in Datong Prefecture, an important place in the north? ”

This young man is the second son of the middle-aged scribe, he is not yet a weak crown, and his curiosity has always been extremely strong, and when he heard this, he quickly pricked up his ears, and most of his body was almost crooked, and then he vaguely heard a sentence: "If you get this woman, you can do great things, if you can't get it, you must destroy it." ”

What are these words? Could it be that their family has been planning for hundreds of years, and a mere woman can catch it?

It's ridiculous!

Just thinking about it, when Huang Lao and his father finished quietly, he inquired about his father, and according to his father's love for him, he would never hide it from himself, so he calmed down and sat quietly and tasted tea.

However, after Huang Lao finished speaking, his father's face suddenly changed, and he and the others were all sent out.

He vaguely heard his father's orders left and right: "Go and find Honggu quickly." ”

Honggu? Isn't that the Nine Protectors?

The woman's kung fu is not high, but the foxy means are really good, it is precisely because she is good at dancing with long sleeves, good looks and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that she has a good reputation outside, and has made many conveniences and secrets that others have never heard of, so his father will make an exception to promote her as a protector of the Dharma, and if there is anything that needs to be put on the surface, she will also be handed over.

Father Bacheng asked Honggu to go to Lingqiu to find the person Huang Lao said.

Seeing his father attach so much importance to a woman of unknown origin, the young man was very unconvinced.

Later, he found an opportunity to ask his father: "What did Huang Lao say?" Why are you so nervous? ”

"Go back and cultivate my mind and temperament, do a good job of the homework left by the masters, and take care of the things on the side!" His father's face turned pale, and he sternly warned him: "If you dare to follow me secretly, I must break your legs!" Do you hear that? ”

"Got it." The young man reluctantly agreed.

But he turned around and went to Honggu to find out the truth.

The red girl was gone.

He wanted to go with him to see if Honggu really went to Lingqiu, what kind of person was that woman, and what was the difference between her.

Before he could get out of the house, he ordered someone to sneak him into the study, and even locked the door, making the boy so angry that he could jump to his feet, and there was nothing he could do but scold the doorkeeper and let him go.

At the same time, in a remote mountain village.

Due to the heavy snowfall that has been falling for several days, the uneven dirt road to Japan is covered with thick snow, and when you step down, you step into a deep snow pit, and sometimes you are lucky enough to sink your feet deeper, and you can't even pull them out.

The biting north wind howled through the exposed skin, and it hurt for a while, and the bitter cold wind drilled through the cracks, rolling cold snowflakes into the necks.

In such bad weather, there was a lame old woman, who limped from the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain to Guyu Village, about two or three miles away, under the wind and snow.

She was going to find the only doctor in the village.

The doctor's surname is Li, and he moved from somewhere else.

There is an eight- or nine-year-old child in the courtyard of Dr. Li's house who is building a snowman to play, he is Dr. Li's only son, a very sensible and introverted child, because their family has just moved to Guyu Village not long ago, he doesn't know many people, the only one who can play together is Shen Baoshan, who is of the same age, but Shen Baoshan's family has too many brothers and sisters, and he is very rude, he has been there once and never dared to come to the door again.

Just that time, he remembered a little girl, a little girl who was always on Shen Baoshan's lips.

The child was wearing a half-worn limestone cotton jacket, wearing a sheepskin warm hat that covered his mouth and nose, and rolled snowballs in the snow, getting bigger and bigger, and he was going to use it to make the head of a snowman.

Standing outside the door was the old woman, who was over fifty years old, her hair was almost half white, and her face was not only covered with traces of wind and frost, but also full of wrinkles, which made her look like an old woman in her sixties.

Her eyes were blue and swollen like walnuts, obviously she had been crying for a long time, and her expression was anxious, and as soon as the door opened, she eagerly asked the child, "Is your father at home?" ”

The child knew the old woman, who was the little girl's grandmother, and had already come once in the morning.

"Yes, I'm going to call my father." The child replied obediently.

The old woman praised him with a 'hey' and said, "Good boy." ”

Seeing the child run into the house with her legs raised, she stood at the door and waited in the sheltered place, patting the snowflakes falling on her head and body.

The child quickly dragged Dr. Li out of the house, and urged while pulling his father: "Hurry up, Dad, Sister Baohua's grandmother is still waiting." ”

Dr. Li was a thin middle-aged man, his face was a little sad, and when he saw the old woman coming again, his face became even more bitter, "I've tried my best, I really can't do anything, just let me go and see it again, and the result is the same." The implication has been made clear, and there is no need to look at it again.

"No, you can take a look at it again, my granddaughter's body has begun to warm, and it is not as cold as in the morning, really, doctor, please run again." The more the old woman talked, the more anxious she became, and she was worried that Dr. Li would not go, and that there was only one doctor in the village, if he did not agree, there would really be no one to save her granddaughter in this snowy day.

"Please, doctor, save my granddaughter, please......"
