Chapter 154: Lin Chen
The light prodigal son that Meng Zhi and the others met on the street was undoubtedly Brother Lin Chen, who Feiliuti didn't want to mention more. After he chased the little beauty, he didn't see anyone until dark, but Mei Changsu saw Feiliu squatting in the corner of the house with a cold face, so he said to Li Gang very clearly: "Probably Lin Chen has arrived......"
So the housekeeper of the Su Mansion hurried to clean up a guest room and came out, and Zhen Ping complained beside him: "He knew that the sect master was waiting for him, why didn't he come over directly?" ”
"Because the sect master has been here, if the little beauty doesn't chase her, she will run away......" A voice seemed to fly from the sky, and the slender figure appeared in front of the window against the backlight, shaking the folding fan in a dashing manner.
"The sect master is at the patient in the South House, go over quickly." Zhen Ping said out the window.
"You help me ask Aunt Ji to cook a bowl of noodles and eggs, I haven't had dinner yet......" The last few words were already blurred, floating to the south.
Mei Changsu was sitting in front of Nie Feng's bed, and Wei Zheng was by his side. As soon as Lin Chen came in, he smiled without looking back: "Brother Nie, the Mongolian doctor is here, let him diagnose your pulse and listen to what nonsense he says." ”
"It's too much, a letter from you, I ran over from Nanchu with a broken leg, and that's it?" Lin Chen slumped his shoulders and shook his head and sighed: "When I passed Yunnan, Nie Duo cried and made a fuss about coming with me, in order to help you settle him, is it easy for me?" Today is also a hard day, and I am still hungry. ”
"Are you still hungry?" Mei Changsu said with a smile: "That's great, if you can't diagnose the pulse quickly, you can't eat." ”
"Ruthless, ruthless." Lin Chen stepped forward helplessly. grabbed a wrist and was thrown off before it could touch the vein.
"I'll let you check his pulse. Not mine. ”
"I think it's time for you to have a doctor," Lin Chen leaned down to look at him. "It is conceivable that Dr. Yan has had a hard time this year."
Mei Changsu stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Chen to the bed and sat down, and said, "Master Lin, don't mess with me, let's take a look at the patient." ”
Lin Chen smiled. Stretched out his hand and brushed Nie Feng's sleeve, pressed his left wrist, and briefly examined his nails, behind his ears, the whites of his eyes, tongue coating and other places, then he exhaled lightly and motioned for Mei Changsu to follow him outside.
"How?"
"Although it looks terrifying, it is nothing if it has only three layers of toxicity."
Mei Changsu glanced at him with the tail of his eyes: "You have never really done this kind of poison with your hands, is it okay?" ”
"Huh." Lin Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why did you ask me to come over if you believe me?" ”
"If only I could find the old pavilion master. Who wants to call you? Mei Changsu turned around and asked, "Feiliu." Would you like to? ”
The boy crouching in the corner of the room shook his head vigorously.
Lin Chen laughed. "Well, I'll admit that if it was you that poisonous. I may not be able to figure it out, but there is nothing wrong with this person. But...... Of course you know...... You have to tell him which solution to choose, and let him make up his own mind. ”
Mei Changsu closed his eyes tiredly and said softly: "Since that's the case, let's talk about it tomorrow." Tomorrow his wife will come over and ask them to discuss it. ”
Lin Chen looked at him deeply, as if he was about to say something, but in the end, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and changed the subject: "I brought you a gift this time, did Feiliu tell you?" ”
Mei Changsu slowly opened his eyes, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "It seems that he didn't say it...... Flystream! You're not good, Brother Chen, I'm going to wrap you in castor leaves, put you in a wooden barrel, and roll down the hillside......"
"Okay," Mei Changsu slapped him on the elbow angrily, "Don't tease him." What did you bring with you to make such a gift? ”
"Hehe," Lin Chen made a gesture with both hands, "A beauty!" ”
Mei Changsu turned around and walked to the courtyard, Lin Chen chased after her, and said, "This is not an ordinary beauty, you know her!" As soon as he said this, he saw Gong Yu quietly walking out of the house, as if he was paying attention to the movement here, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Gong Yu, you don't have to be nervous, with what kind of beauty she is, she can't compare with you, even if Chang Su cares about this beauty, it's for other reasons......"
Hearing him say this, Mei Changsu's heart moved, and he immediately stopped and turned his head: "You caught Qin Banruo?" "How can you use the word scratch for beauty?" Lin Chen said dissatisfiedly: "I just passed through Yunnan, and I happened to meet her, and I crashed into my net by myself, and I gently invited her over." ”
"Does she know where Xia Jiang is?"
Originally, she fled with Xia Jiang, but halfway through, Xia Jiang thought she was cumbersome, so she left her and walked to somewhere alone, and she could only roughly point in one direction. However, now that the four realms have been sealed, Xia Jiang can't break free from this net, even if he has great ability. I've got some clues now that I'm going to follow them down. ”
Mei Changsu pondered for a long time, and Fang said softly, "um".
"Changsu," Lin Chen leaned over, half smiling, half serious and asked, "I would like to ask how you want to clean up the Slippery Clan after King Jing takes power?" In the final analysis, Qin Banruo is just one of them, and it is undeniable that there are still some people in the Slip Clan who still have the idea of recovering the country. From their point of view, that's their justice, isn't it? ”
Mei Changsu sneered, and his tone was cold to the bone: "I admire their ambition to restore the country, but I will not be soft because of this." When my father killed the slippery at that time, I wouldn't argue with the slippery people about right or wrong. Merely...... Now, there are people in my Daliang who have been swallowed up like the Slip tribe, and there are also vassal countries like Yeqin, which have the same problem with several neighboring powers. Nanchu is pacifying the land this year, isn't it also a rebel? After King Jing took power, this is also what he needs to pacify and overcome obstacles, and life for the king and the emperor will not be easy. ”
"Your heart is really long-term," Lin Chen shook his head and said. "It seems that you didn't take a word of what my father told you to heart. I can't take care of you, I'm going to dinner. What about Aunt Ji boiling eggs when she starved? Why don't you come back yet? ”
His last sentence was shouted at an extra loud voice. So immediately a bright voice replied: "Put it in the hall and come and eat it yourself!" When Lin Chen heard this, his face suddenly lit up and he passed happily. Only then did Gong Yu slowly approach and whisper, "Sect Master." The Great Commander has made arrangements, and Gong Yu will leave tomorrow. When you arrive in prison, Gong Yu must always be cautious, and there will be no mistakes, please rest assured. ”
Mei Changsu nodded and said lightly: "I have always been relieved of you, rest early." After saying this briefly, he immediately turned around and went back to Nie Feng's room.
Gong Yu stood alone in the courtyard for a long time, and the wind and dew gradually rose at night, almost soaking her clouds. She remained motionless. Lin Chen, who was full of food and drink, came over from under the porch and looked at her silently for a while and said, "Gong Yu." Let's play a tune. ”
The beauty star's eyes turned softly, as if there was a moist shimmer of light. In the shadow of the moon, she bowed her head and slowly returned to her room. Not much. The wisps of the piano sounded.
In the quiet of the night, the tune is mournful and natural. Although it is slow and unremarkable, it makes people feel a dazed flow of flowers and water, evoking infinite lovesickness.
However, the doors and windows of Nie Feng's room were closed, but they were never opened again, and the next morning, Gong Yu went out in disguise according to the plan he had made with Meng Zhi. The people in Su's house waited anxiously or idly, and when it was nearly noon, a carriage drove in from the side door, and just stopped, Meng Zhiben jumped down first and stretched out his hand to the back, but Xia Dong didn't need his help, she jumped to the ground by herself without even helping Yuanmu, and her posture was still as proud as before, without the slightest hint of resignation.
Li Gang led them into the main courtyard, first asked Xia Dong to wash off the disguise on her face, Mei Changsu came out in person at this time, and accompanied her into the south room.
Nie Feng was sitting on a chair by the window, basking in the sun, and when Xia Dong came in, he quickly hugged his head and didn't dare to look at her. Wei Zheng held his shoulders and whispered for a while, but he couldn't persuade him to move, and finally had to smile bitterly at Xia Dong helplessly.
But Xia Dong didn't see his wry smile, and from the moment she came in, her eyes never left the person in the seat, although he could hardly be called a person in appearance.
The white hair on her face, her swollen and deformed body trembled, and her curled posture trembled, and there was nothing that could remind her of her heroic husband, who seemed to be able to swallow the wind and clouds.
But that's alive.
Compared to the broken bones in front of him thirteen years ago, at least this one was still alive.
Tears fell from Xia Dongdi's eyes, but a smile appeared on his lips. She walked up to Nie Feng, squatted down, and hugged him tightly in her arms without saying a word.
At this moment, she didn't even think about suspicion, and didn't first check the silver ring on his wrist. Perhaps the moment Meng Zhi explained it to her, she couldn't wait to believe the good news.
Silently embracing the hot tears, the thumping heartbeat in the chest, and the fear of being lost and regained. All this made Xia Dong a little dizzy, so dizzy that he didn't dare to open them again when he closed his eyes.
After a long time, someone coughed softly. "General Nie, Mrs. Nie is not my trouble...... There is still time for the two of them to slowly experience the joy of reunion, but now can you listen to me, a Mongolian doctor, talk about the poison of fire and cold, Xia Dong calmed down, and slowly let go of the husband in his arms. Wei Zheng brought a round stool and asked the two to sit next to each other. Meng Zhi also found a place nearby, but Mei Changsu sat in the corner of the house.
"The poison of fire and cold is the first strange poison in the world. The strange thing is that it can save and kill people, and it can put people in hellish torment. Lin Chen said in a flat tone: "Back then, General Nie was burned all over his body, and his heart was already physiological, but he happened to fall into the snow nest and was bitten by a cold scale insect and his whole body, which saved his life." This insect is only near Meiling, there is a Soul Valley, and there is only a wall between the North Valley of Meiling, and there is also a little growth. They specialize in scorched flesh and spit out toxins at the same time, stifling the fire poison with an icy breath, thus forming a new strange poison, which is the poison of fire and cold. ”
Although what he said was true, everyone had already seen the horror of this poison, not only Xia Dong's whole body trembled, but even Meng Zhi's face couldn't help but change color.
"The bones of the people who are poisoned by the fire and cold in their bodies are deformed, the skin is swollen, and the upper and lower parts of the body will be covered with white hair, and the base of the tongue is stiff and unable to speak. The toxicity should be subsided by sucking blood several times a day, and human blood is preferred. Although the poison can prolong one's life and one's physical strength is normal when it is not used, such torture may not be cleaner than death. Lin Chen looked at Nie Feng with sympathetic eyes, "General Nie can endure all these years, and his heart is very much within the reach of others. ”
"Is this poison curable?" Xia Dong clenched her husband's hand and asked hurriedly.
"Yes." Lin Chen said very simply: "There are two solutions, one is to solve it thoroughly, and the other is to solve it incompletely, you must choose one of them." ”
"Of course we're going to have a complete solution." Xia Dong said without hesitation.
Lin Chen looked at her deeply for a long time, sighed lightly, and said, "After I have explained the differences between these two solutions, Mrs. Nie, can you choose?" ”
