Gu Qing lay on the hospital bed with blank eyes, staring at the ceiling, desperately thinking about his life at the last moment of his life. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the help of the ventilator, Gu Qing panted and breathed oxygen as hard as he could. The sound of the ECG monitor ticking around his ears.

Gu Qing, 27 years old this year, is a successful person in the eyes of others, a medical doctor at a young age, has a beautiful fiancée, and owns a house of 150 square meters in the center of S city, where housing prices are so high.

Gu Qing grew up in a not very wealthy family, and the hardships of his parents' life always reminded him: if you want to change your fate, you must pay several times or dozens of times the efforts of others.

Gu Qing has been a well-known learning freak since elementary school, and he is desperate to learn. He was studying when he was sleeping, he was still studying when he woke up, he was studying when he went to the toilet, and he was muttering English words even when he was taking a shower.

For more than 20 years, Gu Qing was admitted to a prestigious university with his own efforts and successfully obtained a doctorate. After graduation, Gu Qingchun was proud, and in just two years, he had a house in S City, and he had a school flower fiancée, and they were going to get married in a month.

A week ago, Gu Qing suddenly fainted, and his colleagues in the hospital rushed him to the emergency department, and the results of the examination were stunning: he was highly poisoned, and the poison had penetrated into the internal organs, and there was no help!

Gu Qing never imagined that he would lie in the hospital bed one day, and the hospital examination report showed that he was highly toxic caused by long-term food poisoning. Gu Qing rarely eats out, and there are only two places where he eats stably for a long time, one is the hospital cafeteria and the other is at home.

Judging by the well-being of other colleagues, the meals in the hospital cafeteria should be fine, ah, a terrible thought was born in his head, poisoned at home.

It was difficult for Gu Qing to associate the poisoner with his virtuous fiancée, and in his opinion, his fiancée had no motive to poison at all.

During the week that Gu Qing was hospitalized, his fiancée visited him four times, and each time she came, she stayed for 20 minutes and left in a hurry.

On the fourth day of Gu Qing's hospitalization, his body was already unable to move, and he couldn't sit up with any weakness, and the hospital could only prescribe some antidote potions to prolong his life. When Gu Qing's fiancée came for the last time, he deliberately pretended to be asleep, and ten minutes later, the scene he saw confirmed his suspicion: the poisoner was his fiancée.

After Gu Qing's fiancée entered the ward, she picked up the fruit and slowly peeled it, looking at the door while peeling the fruit, looking absent-minded. Ten minutes later, a man boldly entered the ward and hugged Gu Qing's fiancée, Gu Qing's fiancée was still a little resistant at first, and after seeing Gu Qing not waking up for a long time, he had the courage to get up with the strange man.

After the two hugged each other and left, Gu Qing opened his tired eyes and scolded the dog man and woman in his heart.

For the next three days, no one came to visit, including Gu Qing's fiancée, except for a little nurse who came to change the dressing.

Dididi, the ringing of the heart monitor once again pulled Gu Qing from his memories to reality.

Gu Qing thought back to many things, remembered his hometown, remembered the old tree at the door, remembered the leper dog he raised, and remembered his parents who were waiting for him to go back at home, it turned out that this was what he was most concerned about.

A tear flowed from the corner of Gu Qing's eyes, Gu Qing gently closed his eyes and quietly left this world.

Drip...

The curve of the heart monitor turned into a straight line, and the screeching of the machine sounded in the ward...

The little nurse in charge of changing the dressing kicked open the door, strode in, glanced at the heart monitor and didn't have time to call the doctor, threw down the sundries in her hand, picked up the ECG defibrillator next to the bed and pressed towards Gu Qing's body.

Gu Qing's corpse instantly became charred, and it was still emitting thick smoke.

The little nurse screamed, and when she saw what she was doing, she almost fell. It was some kind of ECG defibrillator in his hand, but a wire with an electric spark flashing.

The little nurse was shocked, hurriedly threw away the wire in her hand, and kept muttering and scolding the electrician for not repairing the faulty circuit.

The nurses and doctors in the corridor walked into the ward after hearing the shouting, and shook their heads helplessly when they saw Gu Qing's charred body.

The rain outside the window kept falling, and a bolt of lightning slashed across the sky and slashed at the iron window of the ward, and the violent force directly split the window into ashes.

The doctors and nurses in the room all screamed.

Without everyone seeing it, a streamer of light burst out from Gu Qing's corpse, strangely disappearing into the lightning.

In the vortex of endless darkness, Gu Qing's soul was almost torn to pieces.

I don't know how long it took, a vague thunder sounded in my ears, crackling, my eyes lit up, my ears roared, and Gu Qing's consciousness gradually became clear.

After trying a few times, Gu Qing opened his eyes, and one scene after another came into view, blue sky, drizzle.

Boom, the sound of thunder rang out.

Black lightning?

Gu Qing looked at the lightning crisscrossing the air with an incredulous expression, this should not be the Netherworld Underworld, could it be that he has crossed by himself?

"Stinky boy, why are you stunned, why don't you hurry up and pick the purple lingweed!"

An old man's shout interrupted Gu Qing's thoughts.

Gu Qing came back to his senses and continued to scan his surroundings, and after a moment he confirmed his conjecture: he really crossed over!

At this time, Gu Qing was no longer an adult, but an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, dressed in coarse linen clothes, carrying a medicine basket on his back, and was climbing on the mountainside about seven or eight meters high, and there was a purple grass in front of him.

The purple grass was twenty centimeters high, rooted straight in the cracks of the stones, and the four leaves danced gently in the breeze, looking bewitching.

On the ground, a white old man raised his head in the drizzle and watched the boy's every move.

"Stinky boy, pick it quickly, it's going to rain heavily!" the old man continued urging, and there was already a hint of impatience in his voice.

As soon as the words fell, several black lightning bolts exploded in the air, and the sound was booming.

Gu Qing slowly gained control of the young man's body, and due to the weakness of his hands, he screamed and fell down with the medicine basket. Before he fell, he subconsciously grabbed the purple grass, and it was a pity that he almost caught it.

The boy's body fell heavily on the ground, and after rolling a few times, his head hit a large rock hard, and blood flowed.

The old man was taken aback, and he didn't care about the purple lingcao, picked up the injured young man and left in a hurry.

"What is this?"

In a simple wooden house, the white old man asked Gu Qing with a medicinal herb in his hand.

Gu Qing carefully looked at the herbs in front of him and shook his head.

The old man sighed, took out a herb from the medicine basket and said to Gu Qingdao: What about this?

Gu Qing looked at it for a while, and finally shook his head again. These herbs grew strangely and had never been seen before, and he was sure that there were absolutely no such herbs in the Compendium of Materia Medica.

"What about this?" asked the old man as he continued to pull out a herb.

Gu Qing continued to shake his head.

The white old man took out more than a dozen different herbs one after another, and every time he took out one, Gu Qing shook his head once.

Gu Qing saw that the old man's face was not very good, and said softly: "Grandpa, my head hurts so much, I really don't remember!"

Gu Qing's head was wrapped in thick white gauze, round after round, and red blood spilled out in some places.

The white old man was stunned for a moment, his face slowly turned blue, and he yelled: "I'm your father!"

Gu Qing's mouth opened wide in surprise, his eyes were round, and his face was incredible.

The old man sighed a few times and said, "Xiao Qi, let's eat first!"

Gu Qing pretended to have amnesia and mixed up, and was relieved to see that the old man had no suspicions.

In front of a table of delicious food, Gu Qing swallowed his saliva, and the hand that was stretched out several times retracted again and again.

"Eat!" The old man said coldly after glancing at Gu Qing a few times.

The wine on the table shone green, and at first glance it was poisonous, and the food on the plate also shone with a strange light, needless to say, poisonous.

Gu Qing muttered in his heart: "Could it be that this old man has discovered something? Is he going to poison me to avenge his son?"

"This wine and food is poisonous?" Gu Qing asked weakly after being in a daze for a long time.

"We eat this every day! Could it be that we are really stupid?" The old man picked up a glass of poisoned wine and drank it, picked up his chopsticks and ate it himself, eating with relish.

In order not to show flaws, Gu Qing stubbornly picked up the wine glass and poured it down "boldly".

The mouth is sweet, no different from the wine drunk on the earth, after a long time, seeing that there is no discomfort in the body, Gu Qing completely put his mind at ease.

After eating poisonous wine and poisonous vegetables for two days, Gu Qing not only did not feel unwell, but felt a lot more physical and mental, which surprised him.

The small courtyard was small and full of all kinds of herbs, all of which were poisonous.

It rained heavily for several days, and the black thunder and lightning in the sky roared like a brontosaurus to prove something to the world.

The old man braved the heavy rain and went out for two hours.

During these two hours, Gu Qing toured the entire courtyard, and checked all the things that could and couldn't be moved in the house.

The seven spirit seats on the wooden table in the main hall made Gu Qingfa stunned for a long time, although he didn't know whose these spirit cards belonged to, he still picked up the incense next to the table and worshiped them one by one.

The white old man came back in the heavy rain, holding a small purple grass in his hand, which was the purple rhombus that Gu Qing had not picked in his hand.

The white old man walked into the house without saying a word, and when he saw that the spiritual seat in the main hall was full of incense, he was stunned for a moment, and finally said nothing, and entered the inner room alone.

A few days after "pretending to be crazy and stupid" under the guise of amnesia, Gu Qing extracted some useful information from the mouth of the old man.

This is a completely new world, completely different from the earth, everything here is more or less poisonous, and the herbs in the courtyard are not actually herbs, but poisonous weeds.

Due to the electric shock, Gu Qing's soul accidentally crossed over to a young man named Duan He, and that Duan He's soul had been scattered by the lightning strike and completely died.

The old man had a total of seven sons, and Duan He was the seventh, his youngest son and the last son.

Duan He's eldest brother is called Duan Yuanzhi, and his name has the meaning of going to a foreign country to seek ambition, and he was accidentally poisoned to death when practicing poison.

Duan He's second brother is called Duan Yuansheng, and he was also poisoned.

Duan He's third brother is called Duan Yuanchen, and he was poisoned to death when he was fighting with others.

Duan He's fourth brother was called Duan Yuanxiu and was poisoned.

Duan He's fifth and sixth brothers were twins, named Duan Xiangwen and Duan Xiangwu, who were both poisoned by the enemy.

Duan He's mother is called Xu Lanshang, and when she was twenty years old, she eloped with a man thirty years older than him despite the opposition of her family, and died just after giving birth to Duan He. In her sleep, she dreamed that a river was cut off by a shadow, and before she died, she named her son Duan He with the meaning of "broken river", which was the only thing she left to her son.
