Chapter 11: Waiting
There was a soft knock on the door of Mo Kong's room.
"Sixing, can you come in now?"
"You can come in, Uncle Mo. ”
Hearing this, Mo Qingyan immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and Long Pocheng also followed closely behind.
Seeing someone coming in, Yi Sixing also put down his work and looked at the door, and after seeing Long Pocheng behind Mo Qingyan, Yi Sixing hurriedly greeted: "Oh, even Uncle Long is here, Uncle Long is good!"
Seeing Yi Sixing greeting him, Long Pocheng said with a smile: "Hahaha, Sixing, okay, you're welcome, you can be busy with you first, you can leave the two of us alone." ”
"Well, it's okay, Uncle Long. You guys come over to see the emptiness, then come here, I'm almost busy here, I'm going to decoct the medicine now, call me if you have something. After saying that, he sorted out his medicine box, left the edge of the bed, and gave it to the two elders.
"Go ahead, Sixing, we'll take notice. The dragon broke the city and answered.
After speaking, Yi Sixing picked up his medicine box and was about to go to the kitchen to decoct the medicine, but he was suddenly stopped by Mo Qingyan at the door.
"Think and wait!"
Hearing Uncle Mo's call, Yi Sixing turned his head suspiciously.
Mo Qingyan then asked, "Sixing, is there anything we should pay special attention to later?"
After hearing this, Yi Sixing smiled and said: "It's okay, Uncle Mo, I'll come back as soon as I finish decoction, you just need to try not to touch the empty body, nothing else." ”
"When will the void wake up?" Mo Qingyan asked after all.
"This varies from person to person, and I can't give you an exact amount of time, but I should wake up almost when I've cooked all the medicine. ”
Then Yi Sixing thought of something again, and then said: "By the way, Uncle Mo, if you suddenly wake up early, you usually want to drink water at first, and if I am not there at that time, you can give him the water in that bowl to drink, remember to use the leaves to hold the water, just drink a little bit for the first time." He then pointed to the water on the table in a wooden bowl.
Then Yi Sixing said in a very serious tone: "If you wake up early, remember not to let him move and cause further damage, it will be very troublesome." ”
Looking at Yi Sixing's serious expression, Mo Qingyan digested what he had just said and replied: "Well, Uncle Mo knows everything, you go and get busy." ”
"Okay, then I'll go, Uncle Mo. With that, Yi Sixing quickly left the room and walked towards the kitchen.
After Yi Sixing left, Mo Qingyan walked impatiently to the bedside, looking at his son's pale body, weak body, and unconscious, he felt sour and bitter in his heart.
At this time, Mo Qingyan's shoulder was firmly and forcefully grasped by Long Pocheng, "Old man, don't worry, I believe that everything will be fine, and this kid will definitely be excellent in the future." ”
"Well, I hope everything gets better soon. Although he said so, Mo looked at his son in front of him, but his heart was full of deep self-blame, his eyes were fixed on his son, and he was not willing to take a step away.
Suddenly, someone outside the door reported: "Tell the marshal, the investigation has preliminary results." ”
Hearing this, Mo said lightly: "Break the city, you go and get busy first, I can't accompany you this time, don't be weird!"
"Okay, old man, what are you talking about, you can stay here with Kongjie, and I'll see what the results of the investigation are. After speaking, without waiting for Mo to answer lightly, Long Pocheng shook his head and left the room gently.
An hour passed, and Yi Sixing walked in with a medicine box.
"Uncle Mo, there is no problem. The words fell for a while, and he didn't see Mo Qingyan answer, so Yi Sixing took the medicine box and slowly detoured to the side of the bed, but saw Mo Qingyan facing his son with his head down, his eyes looking straight at him, and his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing Mo Qingyan like this, although he couldn't bear to disturb him, Mo Kongjue was about to take the medicine, so Yi Sixing was still very embarrassed and said, "Uncle Mo? Uncle Mo? Why don't you go and rest for a while?" ”
Yi Sixing's voice came from his ears again, and finally woke up Mo Qingyan's expression, after Mo Qingyan reacted, he looked at Yi Sixing and said apologetically: "Just now, Uncle Mo was a little out of shape, which made Sixing smile." ”
"Uncle Mo, it's not in the way, or Uncle Mo goes to rest for a while, just have thoughts and deeds here. ”
"No, Uncle Mo is here, waiting for the void to wake up. By the way, when did Sixing come? Uncle Mo didn't pay attention just now. ”
"I've been here for a while, Uncle Mo. I just saw Uncle Mo here with Kongjue, and I couldn't bear to call you at the beginning. ”
"Oh, that's right, it's Uncle Mo's gaffe. ”
"It's okay, it's okay!, but Uncle Mo, you can go and sit next to it for a while, Sixing is going to give the empty medicine to the void." ”
"Oh oh, okay, you get busy first. Sixing, I'm really bothering you this time. ”
"It's not troublesome! It's not troublesome! I've been playing with Sora since I was a child, and I don't know how many injuries I've treated him, although this time is a little different, but no matter what, I'll find a way to get him better as soon as possible. ”
"Sixing, Uncle Mo thank you for being empty!"
Hearing Uncle Mo's thanks, Yi Sixing felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and felt a sour taste slowly gushing out of his heart, so he said: "Don't say that, Uncle Mo, this is what I should, it should be, you go and rest for a while, I'll call you when I'm done, can you see it?"
"Oh, yes, yes, Uncle Mo is going to rest for a while, and he won't hinder Sixing's work here. ”
After speaking, Mo Qingyan got up and left the edge of the bed, sat on the chair next to him and quietly watched Yi Sixing busy.
Mo Qingyan finally left, Yi Sixing hurriedly took out the medicine box, took out the bottle containing the freshly boiled medicinal juice, uncovered the quilt on Mo Kongjue's body, and gently smeared the medicinal juice on Mo Kongjue's body layer by layer, and then took out a moxa stick, lit it with the oil lamp on the desk, and then smoked it on Mo Kongjue's acupuncture points.
Looking at Yi Sixing's dedication, Mo said lightly: "Sixing, is there anything you need Uncle Mo's help with?"
Yi Sixing thought for a while and replied: "It's nothing else, but when I wait for the splint to fix the ribs, I still need Uncle Mo to help me help me get rid of the void." ”
"Oh? Okay. I know. ”
After a while, Mo Qingyan continued: "Sixing, there is really nothing else to help?"
"No, Uncle Mo, just sit down, I'll call you when I ask you for help later, I can't be polite on this point, just don't blame me." ”
"No, no, as long as you think and do what you ask, Uncle Mo will do it. ”
Hearing this, Yi Sixing smiled and said, "Uncle Mo, don't say that, I don't dare to tell you, if my father or Uncle Long hears it, it will inevitably teach you a lesson." ”
Then Yi Sixing didn't hear the echo behind him, so Yi Sixing looked back, and Mo Qingyan was sitting there in a depressed mood somehow. Seeing this, Yi Sixing said: "It's all strange that Sixing is ignorant and said the wrong thing, I hope Uncle Mo doesn't take it to heart, and the emptiness will get better soon." ”
"Well, with thoughts and deeds, I believe he will get better soon. After Mo lightly replied to this sentence, the conversation between the two ended here.
Time passed slowly, and the moxa sticks in Yi Sixing's hands became shorter and shorter. At this time, Mo Qingyan's voice behind him came again. "When will the void wake up?" the voice was low and weak.
"Soon, Uncle Mo, the void will wake up soon, don't worry. ”
"That's good, that's good. Yi Sixing listened to Mo Qingyan's tone at this time and it didn't look like talking to himself, but he thought it was talking to himself, and he didn't see Uncle Mo looking at him when he turned around, and Yi Sixing didn't talk again, but continued to concentrate on his work.
The moxa sticks in his hand were finally smoked, and after waiting for a while, Yi Sixing said, "Uncle Mo, can you come and help me?"
Hearing Yi Sixing's request for help, Mo Qingyan hurriedly reacted, walked quickly to Yi Sixing's side, and asked, "Sixing, you say, how do you want Uncle Mo to cooperate with you?"
"Actually, it's very simple, just need Uncle Mo to gently lift up his empty body, and I'll tie him with a bandage and put a splint on him. But you have to be careful about how you fit me, especially when I'm bandaged. ”
"Oh okay, everything does as you say. But after finishing speaking, Mo said lightly, but he didn't move.
Seeing this, Yi Sixing also knew the reason, and then pointed to Mo Kongjue's body and said: "Uncle Mo just go around the back of Kongjue's body to support his neck and shoulders, and when he is bound with a bandage, his hand will move, I will ask for these things." ”
"Oh oh oh, okay. So Mo Qingyan helped his son up very carefully, and then supported his son's neck and shoulders, and Yi Sixing quickly tied a bandage and splinted Mo Kongjue.
"Okay, Uncle Mo, it's done, you can put it down, remember to be gentle. ”
After listening, Mo Qingyan gently put his son away, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him quietly.
At this time, Yi Sixing didn't bother anymore, picked up the medicine box and went to the desk on the side to clean up, but during the cleaning, the sound of Long Pocheng came from outside the door.
"Qingyan, are you still in there?"
Hearing Long Pocheng's voice, Mo Qingyan got up and looked at Yi Sixing on the side, Yi Sixing said: "Uncle Mo, go ahead, this is Sixing watching, it will be fine, if you wake up, I will call you again." ”
"Well, I'm sorry for you. Thanking him, Mo lightly left the room.
Long Pocheng stood outside the door and saw Mo Qingyan coming out of it, his eyes were red, he was depressed, and said to Mo Qingyan: "Qingyan, cheer up, I don't want to see you like this when I wake up." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Although his mouth responded, Mo Qingyan's soul has not been recovered for the time being.
"To put it mildly, I'm not here for anything else, but I don't understand the results of the investigation just now, so I want you to refer to it, what do you think?"
Seeing Long Pocheng talking about important things, Mo Qingyan still tried his best to cheer up and listen carefully.
"I'll send someone down to investigate, the results of the investigation here in Dragon City have come out, and the results in other places will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest, guess what the result is?"
Long Pocheng sold it first, and then said to himself: "I didn't find out when they came in in Longcheng, and I didn't find anything suspicious before, but the latest results say that several merchants who have recently entered Longcheng suddenly disappeared, and they went to the city gate guard with their portraits and said that they didn't see them out of the city." ”
Putting aside his son's injuries in his mind for the time being, Mo lightly thought about the message of Long Pocheng, and asked, "Merchants, what merchants, do you have portraits of them?"
Long Pocheng said: "I have already seen the portraits, and from this appearance, it is true that these merchants are human beings. ”
"Didn't you find other suspicious people?" Mo Kongjue then asked
"I didn't find any other suspicious people, only these businessmen disappeared. However, during the investigation, it was found that these merchants did not behave unusually after arriving in Dragon City, and they talked about business as usual like other merchants, but no one had seen these merchants since yesterday. ”
"I haven't seen them since yesterday? Are there any bodies where they live and outside the city? ”
"Someone has already checked this, and I haven't received any news yet. ”
Looking at his old friend, Mo asked lightly: "Broken City, you should have something to worry about, say it and think about it together." ”
"To put it mildly, I think I can understand that they could have gotten into Dragon City by relying on these merchants, but how did they get out? No soldiers saw these merchants leave the city. According to Qingyu, they should have gone out during the day, but how they got out, I have never been able to figure it out. And what are they here for? I don't know yet. ”
"Are all the ministers okay then?" Mo Qingyan continued to ask.
"The ministers are all fine, if it weren't for Qingyu and Kongjue being injured, they would not know anything, but now that they know, it will make people panic. Everyone is gone, and I don't know why they are so nervous. ”
"It's okay for the ministers, but break the city, if I am a curse and finally come to Dragon City, then the target must be your Long family, otherwise what are you doing here?"
"Yes, I thought the same way, but my family is fine, nothing happened, so I can't figure it out. ”
"Yes, too. Listening to Long Pocheng's narration, Mo Qingyan calmed down and thought slowly.
After a while, Mo asked lightly, "Broken City, what did Qingyu say, why did he and Kong Jue find out about the spell?"
"Qingyu, he said that he and Kongju went back after completing the mission yesterday, but because it rained, he found a cave outside and delayed for a night, but Kongju was on guard at night until almost dawn and found an abnormality in the forest and went to check. ”
"Anomaly? What anomaly?"
"This Qingyu didn't know, so he said that the sky was not completely bright, so he pulled him to a place, and found a fire that had just been extinguished, so he checked it out, and took Qingyu to track it, you insist that the stinky boy said a reason, I'm afraid I can't look forward to it in this life, but I think it should be the abnormal activity of some animals in the forest. ”
"Well, that's right, what about after they catch up with the spell?"
They finally caught up with the spells, and were sure that one of them was indeed a curse, but the other was not. But the other man in black seems to be the superior of the curse, and the curse is very afraid of him, and the man in black found out about them and sent the spell to kill Qingyu and Kongjue, and you know about what happened later. ”
After listening to Long Pocheng's words, Mo thought about it calmly and calmly, and then said in a low voice: "Breaking the city, I think the curses should have discovered Qingyu and Kongju's tracking a long time ago." ”
"What!
"I mean, the void should have been discovered long ago. ”
"Why didn't you speed up your pace to get out of the tracking of the Void? Besides, the tracking ability of the Void is very strong, and sometimes even I may not be able to find it. ”
"As for how they found out, I don't know, but I should have discovered them a long time ago, as for why they waited for Kong Jue and Qingyu to catch up with them, I think it may be to confirm their identity. ”
"Identity? ”
"What's wrong?"
Long Pocheng paused for a moment, and then asked, "If it is to determine the identity, since the identity of Kongjue and Qingyu has been determined, then why is it still a killer." I think whoever is following them is already dead in their eyes, but why do you need to be identified?"
"Broken city, this is also what I don't understand. ”
Then Mo Qingyan continued: "I think I just want to confirm the identity of Qingyu and Kongjue. ”
"Well, according to you, they still know a lot about us humans. ”
"Well, so to speak. ”
In the end, Long Pocheng and Mo Qingyan still didn't come up with a reason, but Mo Qingyan had some other thoughts in his heart that he didn't say.
"Why did you assign a spell demon to understand Qingyu and Kongjue?Why did the man in black leave first? Was it because he was confident in the strength of the spell?Or did he not want to kill him at all?Or was there some other purpose?What was the purpose of all this?" Looking at Long Pocheng's distressed appearance, Mo Qingyan's heart was full of doubts and did not say anything more, so as not to continue to add trouble to Long Pocheng.
After a while, Long Pocheng said: "Let's talk lightly, we haven't come out with a result for a long time, it seems that this matter is too strange, I'll continue to check first, if you wake up, remember to tell me!"
"Okay, you go get busy first, I won't accompany you. ”
"Well, let's go first. After saying that, Long Pocheng left the courtyard.
After Long Pocheng left, Mo Qingyan stood alone in the middle of the courtyard, feeling the gentle breeze, looking at the somewhat heavy sky, thinking of his son who was still unconscious on the bed, and muttered in his mouth: "Mengyin, I'm sorry for you, I almost died early, I didn't take good care of our children." ”
And the sky that her eyes looked at was a beautiful woman with black hair and purple eyes, fair skin, smiling quietly.
