Chapter 41: Nightmare
When Long Yuan returned to the Xue Clan's Medical Hall, it was already the end of the day, and Mr. Xue was still treating Erlong in the medical hall, and a handful of medicinal powder and herbs were sprinkled into the medicine barrel.
"I have taken out all these rare medicinal materials that I have treasured over the years, and it is really distressing. But if you hadn't lent me those few medical texts, I'm afraid I would have been kneeling in the Yama Temple. Mr. Xue joked that in order to suppress the toxicity of Erlong, he had paid a lot of money.
Long Yuan felt very guilty in his heart, after all, Mr. Xue was targeted by Shi Peng and had nothing to do with him.
"Mr. Xue, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness. ”
Mr. Xue waved his hand and said, "The people of Longyin Villa are worthy of me doing this, and besides, the few medical books you lent me can be said to be priceless. Although these medicinal materials are rare and precious, they are not as good as those medical theories. ”
Long Yuan solemnly bowed to Mr. Xue with a fist, and then he walked over and put his hand on Erlong's shoulder, saying, "I will seek justice for you." ”
Although Erlong couldn't see or hear, he knew that it was Long Yuan who came to see him, and he patted Long Yuan's hand and tried his best to smile.
"Brother Long Yuan, you go back first, Shi Peng thought that he had killed Mr. Xue, and this medical hall was the safest place. The rest of Yueyang City doesn't know if there are any killers, and I can't go back to the inner courtyard. "Liang Yuan had already known about Erlong's assassination by the killer, and now he has connected the matter back and forth, and the truth is clear. It has always been Shi Peng and Shi Ying who want to kill Erlong, and if he returns to the inner courtyard, he will inevitably be poisoned by him.
Long Yuan nodded, he knew that although Liang Yuan was young, he was quite thoughtful, so he didn't stay anymore and took Xiaoxiao back to Longyin Villa.
"Two days later, I'm afraid it's going to be stormy. Mr. Xue looked at Long Yuan's distant back and said to himself.
"Young Master Long, are you okay. Xiaoxiao followed Long Yuan all the way, and always felt that Long Yuan was different from usual, which made her feel strange.
"It's nothing, thank you. ”
"It's not hard, Young Master Long is kind to us, it should be. Xiao Xiao smiled, she looked at the blue and red on Long Yuan's face, and wanted to help him rub it, but considering her identity, she didn't do that. These days, when Long Yuan went to Ling Qinglan to look for gouache, he was also seen by Xiaoxiao, so he knew the reason for his injury.
When the two arrived at Longyin Villa, they went back to their respective residences.
On this day, Long Yuan's mood fluctuated a lot, and he closed the sea of qi and experienced a battle, and he was very tired. I went back to my room and went to bed without freshening up.
He had a dream that night, and he had slept especially deeply for many years, and almost never dreamed, only when he had just entered Longyin Villa when he was a child.
In my dream, I was a desolate land, surrounded by mountains and collapsed, as if I had experienced a great earthquake. The land was filled with a monstrous black aura, and Long Yuan was lost in it, unable to find any direction.
Those monstrous black qi gathered towards him, making his chest more and more annoying, and gradually he felt that his heart was filled with endless hatred. In that black air, he seemed to see countless living beings dying, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and as if he saw countless soldiers falling to the ground, buried by the clouds and smoke of the power calendar, those soldiers did not look like the army of the mortal dynasty at all, the armor on their bodies was golden and bright, and the silver light was shining, which looked extremely sacred.
Suddenly, he heard a loud roar, and the roar went straight to Xiao Han, as if he wanted to break through the thirty-three days and leave the hatred of the sky.
"Regulus!"
After hearing this roar of hatred, Long Yuan felt that something in his blood was about to come out of his body, he turned his back to the sky and let out a long roar: "Xuanyuan!"
Then he lost consciousness.
In reality, Long Yuan was convulsing incessantly on the bed, sweating profusely, as if he was haunted by nightmares.
Finally, he shook himself up with a loud shout of Regulus.
"What's wrong with me?" Long Yuan touched his forehead, his head swollen and ached. Looking up at the window, a red sun hung in the west.
"How did I sleep for so long. Long Yuan shook his head, got out of bed, took a change of clothes, and went to the mountain stream not far away.
With a plop, Long Yuan plunged into the stream with a slick body.
Just as Long Yuan was bathing in the mountain stream, Xiao Xiao came to Long Yuan's residence, holding a delicate box in his hand.
"Young Master Long. Xiao Xiao stood outside the Longyuan Gate and called. Although the door of Long Yuan's room was not closed, she did not dare to enter directly.
"Young Master Long, are you there?" Seeing that no one answered, Xiao Xiao said again, "Young Master Long, Xiao Xiao has sent you something, I'll go in." ”
As soon as he stepped into Long Yuan's door, the smell of sweat made Xiao Xiao cover his mouth and nose.
"Hmm, it stinks. ”
There was no one in Long Yuan's room, and some sundries were displayed in the room, which was extremely messy.
"Young Master Long is so sloppy. Little muttered. She tidied up the room a little, and she didn't touch some heavy objects on the floor, such as black iron plates and iron balls.
Seeing that the counter at the head of the bed was full of dirty and smelly clothes, Xiao Xiao wrinkled his nose and said, "Young Master Long won't take these clothes to us people to wash." With that, he picked up the clothes and went to the direction of the mountain stream.
"It just so happens that there are some unused soap corners over there, I'll go and help Master Long wash them." ”
Xiao Xiao squatted on the edge of the stream and was about to put those clothes into the water, when suddenly a person came out of the water.
It turned out that Long Yuan tried it in the water after taking a bath, and he held his breath and never came out of the water. At this time, Long Yuan held his breath to the limit and jumped out of the water to think of breathing on the shore, but he didn't expect that there would be a person on the shore at some point.
"Oops!"
An ashlar on the shore was occupied by Xiaoxiao, and Long Yuan had nowhere to stay, and Xiaoxiao fell to the ground at once.
Under the sunset, a young man who was still ignorant pressed on a young girl, and the twenty-eight-year-old girl was wet. After Long Yuan came out of the water, she was seen by Xiao Xiaoyi, and at this time she was knocked down by Long Yuan again, and she screamed in a hurry.
"Ahh
Then the little instinctively raised her hand and fanned it.
Syllable!
Five finger prints appeared on Long Yuan's face, and he was immediately sobered up, and immediately burrowed into the stream again, revealing only one head.
"Xiaoxiao, how are you ...... Over here. ”
The little one covered his face with his hands and ran to the side, and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Long, get dressed quickly." ”
Long Yuan was almost sixteen years old, physiologically speaking, he was already an adult man, but he still needed to grow in size for another two years. Because of this, Xiaoxiao unintentionally saw something that she shouldn't see, which shocked her into fear and shame, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Oh. ”
Long Yuan hurriedly went ashore and turned his back to put on his clothes, and when he turned around, he saw the little trembling back and tilted his head awkwardly and said, "It's ready." ”
Xiaoxiao turned around, and her lovely face was a little redder than the sunset on the distant mountains, and her face was extremely beautiful. Seeing a slap mark on Long Yuan's already blue face, she felt a little guilty in her heart. He muttered, "I came to give Young Master Long some things, and when I saw some dirty clothes in the young master's house, I washed them." “
"Oh, I'll take over these clothes, what did you get me?"
"It's some makeup similar to gouache, but it's much better than gouache, Master Long, you look like a bad guy if you have too much gouache, so I brought this kind of makeup to you, this kind of makeup is called foundation." Tomorrow, the master will tell you to go to the back mountain, and if Master Long rubs gouache again, he will find the wounds on his face. "Little trail. She called Ling Jiutian the master, Long Yuan and several other male disciples as the young master, and Ling Qinglan as the young lady, maybe the maid had been doing it for a long time, and it was not easy to change her mind for a while.
"I've forgotten about that, and tomorrow is the day of the competition. ”
"Young Master Long, there are many martial arts masters in Yueyang City, and they all want to watch tomorrow's competition, I am a little worried about Young Master Long......"
Long Yuan's face became a little solemn when he heard the small words. Tomorrow's competition is a real battle of swords and guns, and it is no longer like a gladiatorial arena.
"It's fine. Long Yuan's eyes were firm, without a trace of timidity, and then he looked at Xiao Xiaodao, "Where's the foundation?"
"I've put it in your room, young master. ”
"Let's go, let's see if the foundation can cover my wounds, if Master knows that I'm in the fighting ring, I'll have to be locked up. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xiaoxiao followed behind Long Yuan, looking at Long Yuan's back, and her cheeks burned involuntarily.
"It's a really good foundation, it's the same as my skin tone. Long Yuan smeared the foundation on his face in front of a bronze mirror. This bronze mirror was originally the makeup mirror of Ling Qinglan's boudoir, but Long Yuan took her gouache and makeup mirror to his room because he wanted to cover up her injuries with gouache.
Xiao Xiao saw a teenager in Long Yuan rubbing foundation on the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"If Young Master Long wants to look in the mirror, when will Xiaoxiao help you buy a glass mirror, now many ladies and ladies in the Zhumen family use this kind of glass mirror, which is much better than the copper mirror. ”
Xiaoxiao also felt a little in her heart, Ling Qinglan didn't even know the glass mirror at this age, and she didn't even care if the clothes didn't fit, I guess it was because she didn't have a mother.
However, since Xiaoxiao came to the villa, Ling Qinglan has changed a lot, especially in terms of dress and makeup.
"No, I won't be injured again in a few days. This thing was meant to be used by women. Long Yuan said.
Xiao Xiao saw that Long Yuan's long hair was scattered, and the water droplets on it were dripping from time to time, diluting the foundation, so he said: "Young Master Long, you need to dry your hair before you can rub it, otherwise it will be ruined by water stains." ”
Long Yuan stroked his hair, remembering the martial arts expounded in Zhen Fan's Fist Interception, among which there were requirements for dress and costumes. In martial arts, long hair can affect sight and even become a means for opponents to attack themselves.
"Xiaoxiao, you go to the account office to pay some gold coins, go to the tailor shop on Moonlight Street to make me a dress, and send it to me by tomorrow night. After that, Long Yuan took a pen and paper and drew the martial artist uniform designed in "Shock Domain".
After a while, a short cardigan and loose trousers appeared on the paper. The short gown has a row of buttons in the middle of the front body, and the style of this costume is very different from the collared robe on Long Yuan's body.
"Well, I'll do it. "Xiao Xiao washed Long Yuan's clothes, and knew Long Yuan's body length, fat and thinness, as well as his body circumference.
"By the way, you can also make a new outfit, you haven't bought any clothes since you came to Longyin Villa, make a few dresses, and treat this place as your home. ”
"Young Master Long...... "Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red when she heard "treat this place as her home", and she did feel a family-like warmth in Longyin Villa. Because her father was taken to Longling Valley by Master Ling, his body was no longer sick, and he fried some twist flowers in his spare time, and played a few games of chess with the uncle who planted rice and vegetables in the village and the uncle who cut firewood, and lived a very happy life. And a few aunts who cook rice and pound clothes are also very good to her, and Su Donghe and they don't treat their father and daughter as subordinates.
